BUSINESS MEMO: QUINSTATE FORUM

The Quinstate Community Development Forum will be held at the Executive Inn Riverfront Hotel in Paducah, Ky., April 8 and 9.

"The Rivers, The Towns, The Farms" will be the theme of the annual two-day conference.

The Quinstate Forum is an annual gathering of citizens and business and educational leaders from Missouri, Illinois, Kentucky, Tennessee and Arkansas.

The states take turns hosting the Forum. It was held at Metropolis, Ill., last year.

A number of speakers will be on the program, co-sponsored by Cooperative Extension Services of five states, local chambers of commerce and other area and regional groups.

Additional information and registration forms are available from Rick Sparks, business and industry specialist with the University of Missouri Outreach and Extension, at the extension office in Jackson, 573-243-3581.
