================================================ MAPS-L ** MAPS-L ** MAPS-L ** MAPS-L ** MAPS-L ================================================ Subject: Fairbanks WAML Conference Date: Fri, 15 Jul 2005 From: John D Kawula <[log in to unmask]> To: [log in to unmask] Cross posted to increase readership: This is a friendly reminder to send in registration forms soon if you would like to attend the WAML conference in September in Fairbanks. Yes, I know it is expensive but to compensate we have a highly unique and dynamic offering: an emphasis on northern latitude cartography, physical and cultural, historical and state of the art digital; a tour of a muskox and caribou research facility; train ride through what should be prime fall follage; meeting session in a brand new science center inside a scenic national park; and scenic wildlife oriented bus trip that gives people the option of hiking off trail through sub-arctic tundra. As an added bonus September is often a good month for northern lights. Thus far I have received only three registration forms and checks. I know from personal e-mails that more are on the way. The train requires full payment and a list of names 45 days in advance. That is why I should have forms in my possession July 22 (next Friday). Thanks and hope to see all of you then.
