Speakers & Distinguished Visitors

Attendees are responsible for making their reservations and paying for their overnight accommodations independently.

As the conference is free, no luncheon is inclusive in the registration fee.  Attendees can choose to lunch at the hotel or any of the many local area restaurants. 

The menu for the special private Sunrise Breakfast Buffet on Saturday and Sunday morning for the Maine Wing Conference 2008 attendees is:

  • Cereals and Fruit Yogurt
  • Fresh Cut Melons and Seasonal Berries
  • Fresh Baked Muffins
  • Pastries and Flaky Croissants
  • Assorted Bagels and Cream Cheese
  • Scrambled Eggs
  • Bacon and Sausage
  • Grilled Red Bliss Potatoes
  • Chilled Orange Juice
  • Freshly Brewed Coffee (regular and decaffeinated)
  • Selection of Premium Teas

This is the same buffet that is available in the restaurant for $22, but is being provided to us for just $15 per person if you prepay with your conference registration. If you forgot to include this great money saver when you sent in your registration, just print another and mark it "Additional Item" and mail it in to Wing HQ’s with your check for either day or both.

Once again, we are planning on having the National Commander be our guest of honor at the banquet and several major figures from NHQ have indicated their intention to attend. The entertainment for the banquet will include the professional comedy group from the Rumford area, the "Wing Nuts" and of course there will be many awards. There is plenty to do in the Portland area and great plans are being made for the cadets including a tour of the Portland Jetport tower, the climbing wall and more.
