Hello All,
Since some of you may be considering attending the 2011 AIS 
  Nat'l Convention in Canada you may be interested in the following.
  I read in my local paper, The Toronto Star, that "(Canadian) 
  Tourism industry officials in Toronto and Niagara Falls say they 
  are shocked to learn the US State Department plans to raise 
  passport fees by as much as 35%;...from $100 to $135...which could 
  come into effect in mid-March."
  If you are in need of a passport you may want 
  to look at starting the process now, before the 
  increase!
Cheers
