The Executive Committee of the club has therefore decided to effectuate a small increase to meeting fees in an attempt to better balance the club's revenue and expenses. We once again have an excellent program that focuses on issues of current importance. Our guest speakers include experts in many fields. We will have sessions on both life and health issues. Please mark your calendars for the future meeting date: November 12-13, 2015 Omni Austin Hotel Downtown Kind Regards, Lorin Hoeppner Secretary-Treasurer Actuaries Club of the Southwest http://www.acsw.us Enclosures
