1993 Middlesex Community Technical College Middletown, CT

The Annual Meeting was held at Middlesex Community/Technical College, in Middletown, Connecticut, on Saturday, April 17, 1993. The theme was Let's Have Fun in 2001! This was a joint meeting with MATYCONN.

The meeting was originally scheduled for Saturday, March 13, 1993, but the snow "Storm of the Century" required that the meeting be called off, literally at the last minute. The delay reduced attendance and the size of the program. The meeting was rescheduled for April 17.
