We'd also love your help putting together next year's Minicon! Let us know that you're interested by checking the box on your Minicon 45 preÂregistration form and we'll get in touch with you. Announcements of meetings will also be posted on the Minicon web site (http://mnstf.org/minicon/) and in the Einblatt (http://mnstf.org/einblatt/).
