Dear Friends:

We are pleased to announce the 2009 Fluid Technology Workshop to be held December 8‐9, 2009 at the Sheraton Tampa Riverwalk Hotel, 200 N. Ashley Drive, Tampa, FL 33602. The Workshop provides an educational and networking opportunity for both experienced and less experienced personnel. Note that plant operations, agronomics and fluid fertilizer fundamentals are covered during the sessions.

The hotel should be contacted directly for your room reservation by calling 813‐223‐2222 or toll free 800-325-3535, and ask for the block of rooms under Fluid Fertilizer Foundation before the motel cut‐off date of November 17, 2009. The rate is $89 single/double. Please make your hotel arrangements directly with the hotel.

Registration for the workshop is $150 if registered is received before Nov. 25, 2009 and $180 if registration is received after Nov. 25, 2009. Additionally, the Mosaic Company is sponsoring a phosphate mine tour on Wednesday afternoon from 1:00 – 7:00. You must be sure and indicate on the registration form if you want to go on the mine tour so that we can arrange for enough bus seating. Participation in the tour will be limited so please register early to insure your place in this interesting and informative tour.

Workshop registration and payment by check or credit card should be returned to the Foundation office in Manhattan, KS. Because of hotel restrictions pre‐registrations will only be refunded if received by November 25th. There will be no refund after that date. A PowerPoint CD will be mailed out after the Workshop as part of your registration fee.

Please print off the accompanying registration form at this website and mail the completed form to the address at the top of this announcement. If you have other questions concerning registration procedures or meeting arrangements please contact Mary Hughes, Fluid Fertilizer Foundation, at the email address or phone numbers above. Dress code is strictly business casual.

Hoping to see you in Tampa !!,
