LSFA 2008 Conference Coordinator Brent Cortez, Program
Chairman Kenny Hunts, Rooms Coordinator Pat Senn,
Exhibit Chairman Roger Young and I are hard at work in
an effort to make this 103^rd LSFA Annual Conference in
Baton Rouge a success.  The anticipated attendance this
year is expected to exceed seven hundred.

The host hotel is the Sheraton Baton Rouge Convention Center
Hotel, however at this time sleeping rooms are only available at the Hilton Baton Rouge Capitol House, located a few short blocks away ( www.hiltoncapitolcenter.com ).

The Hilton still has a limited supply of rooms available,
so make your reservations early.  Special LSFA Conference
Discounted room rates are $119.00 per night for the Hilton. 

Due to the limited number of hotel sleeping rooms available each fire department shall be limited to five (5) rooms.

A hotel reservations form was sent to each department, please complete and return it as indicated.  Hotel Reservations will be accepted only on this Official LSFA Reservation Form through
the LSFA via fax, email or through the US Postal Service on a
first come first serve basis starting no earlier than Thursday, January 3, 2008 at 8 AM.  No reservations will be accepted
before this date.  Reservations received before January 3, 2008
will be placed at the end of the list thus reducing the chances of securing the hotel and type of room desired.  Only reservations
made with the Official LSFA Reservation Form directly through
the LSFA will be accepted and entitled to the special discounted
LSFA Conference room rate.

To obtain a copy of the Official LSFA Reservation Form

*************************************************************************** 

Members of the Louisiana Fire Service,

In an effort to help Louisiana Citizens become more aware of the potential danger associated with Turkey Frying, the Louisiana State Firemen's Association (LSFA), along with LSU Fire and Emergency Training Institute sponsored demonstrations of "The Big Easy", a new fire-free and oil-free cooking appliance that uses infrared technology, in lieu of oil to safely cook a turkey.

These demonstrations were conducted in conjunction with Tailgating at the LSU vs. Auburn Conference Game on Saturday, October 20.  We were located on the Southside of Tiger Stadium before the big game.  Firefighters and the general public came by to visit and taste a piece of crispy delicious healthy turkey prepared in this new safer and healthier method while tailgating in Baton Rouge.

The LSFA hopes to draw attention to the potential danger associated with the typical Turkey Frying process and promote a safer and healthier alternative.

So join the LSFA taking the lead as "The Voice of the Louisiana Fire Service" by helping to educate Louisiana about this safer and healthier cooking technique.

Louisiana State Firemen's Association
