The Great Lakes Beach Association (GLBA) invites you to participate in
the 4th annual Great Lakes Beach Association conference on recreational
water quality November 30 - December 1, 2004.  The Great Lakes Beach
Association was founded in 2001 to bring together beach managers,
scientists,
agencies, officials and private groups to exchange information and improve
recreational water quality.   The annual meeting is an important means of
achieving
this goal.   Conference registration is free and this year is hosted by
Cuyahoga County
Board of Health, Parma, Ohio. The location is 2 miles from the
Cleveland-Hopkins
International Airport.

On November 30, there will be a poster session held from 5:30 - 7:30
