2007 ANNUAL LOCATION
The site for the 2007 Annual Meeting in the Gulf Shore Region
will be presented at this year's annual meeting in Scottsdale AZ.
Many locations have been considered but not all locations will work
for us due to high hotel cost, unavailability of dates or other
suitability issues. Following are the two cities that are being
seriously considered for the 2007 Annual Meeting: Austin (TX) and
Denver (CO). Please rank the cities in order of preference. Return
your vote to me at
no later then ********. A big thank you to the individuals from the
region who visited hotels in these cities as well as other cities at
Allene Tartaglia's request and provided reports and input.
AUSTIN
HOTELS: Hyatt Regency and Renaissance.
RATES: $135 single/double/triple/quad, confirmed for 2007.
GENERAL COMMENTS: As the state capitol, downtown Austin includes
areas such as Sixth Street and the Warehouse District, both with
several blocks of nightclubs with live music, restaurants and shops.
Party boats/cruises are available from Town Lake. The LBJ
Presidential Library is located in Austin and the town of
Fredericksburg is less then an hour drive and has many things to
offer for a day trip.
DENVER
HOTELS: Westin, Doubletree and Renaissance
RATES: $126 confirmed for 2007.
GENERAL COMMENTS: Shopping and restaurants are nearby. The mile high
city of Denver offers spectacular views from all locations and many
scenic areas such as Golden Gate State Park, Estes Park,
Peak-to-Peak Highway. There is also the Denver City
Park, Denver Zoo, and Natural History Museum.
