"Conky
Tonkin' In Key West"
It’s
gonna be that time again before we know it! FYI, there are changes in the works.
First, the registration fee has gone from 50.00 to 60.00. This is the first time
PHIP has raised the registration fee since the inception of MOTM 14 years ago.
Next year the fee will be raised to 75.00. Also, there will be a maximum of 3500
people allowed to register for MOTM this year. In years past it has been 3000.
Last year people were actually turned down because they got their registrations
in after the cut off of 3000. They’re not far away from 2000 now. If you want
to go “Conky Tonkin’ in Key West” this year, get those registrations in
now. www.phip.com
