September 11-14th
It is all about kicking back, networking and having a good
time with friends and colleagues. Annually we seek a place of interest but yet
convenient for our members. This year, it is Gettysburg, PA. The event takes
place at the Wyndam Hotel, 95 Presidential Circle, Gettysburg PA. The rate is
$155.00 single and $175.00 a double rate (2 people in the room). This rate
includes a full breakfast each morning and evening functions. To make
reservations, call 866-845-8885 and reference Nat'l Assoc Oil Heating Service
Managers - the deadline for reservations is: August 12, 2008.

The Wyndam isn't famous like the old Gettysburg Hotel (we
couldn't get space there) but you'll find the amenities very nice and the location
is quite convenient - at the intersection of Routes 30 and 15. It is just 54
miles from Baltimore or 118 miles from Philadelphia.
There is something for everyone to see in Gettysburg, for
instance the new Gettysburg National Military Park is now open, museums, golf
courses, Boyd's Bear Country and naturally outlets.

Our tentative agenda . . . .
Thursday, September 11th - come early to the
retreat - attend an Oil Heat Cares benefit seminar with Dan Holohan, 2:00 p.m.,
