Re: [Harp-L] Spah Conventions



With the demise of Buckeye, etc, it appears that SPAH is the last major gathering in the US. I hope they always increase membership and attendance through successful concepts and constantly attract new members, young and old, into the fold.


<<Agreed.  And wasn't it just two SPAH's ago we had our highest
attendance ever?  SPAH blows my mind.>>
