------- Original Message -------- Subject: WAML conference in Yosemite: deadlines and updates Date: Mon, 16 Sep 2013 16:57:10 -0600 From: Kathryn Lage <[log in to unmask]> To: [log in to unmask] <[log in to unmask]>, 'Geonet listserv ([log in to unmask])' <[log in to unmask]>, 'Maps and Air Photo Systems Forum' <[log in to unmask]> -----Please excuse the cross-posting---- The Western Association of Map Libraries conference in Yosemite is coming up soon! http://www.waml.org/WAML2013Meeting.html If you’re on the fence about attending, here’s some information and pictures from Sunset Magazine to entice you: http://bit.ly/18sz5Dr. Hope to see you there! I wanted to remind folks of a couple of deadlines: ·The field trip currently has 18 participants. The bus can fit 29 people, so register now and reserve your spot if you know you want to go! ·Tenaya Lodge will release our block of rooms at the end of September. Any reservations received after the cut-off date will be accepted at the group rate on a space available basis only. ·Some of you may have seen a note about a “resort fee” of $15/night in your confirmation email from Tenaya Lodge. This is something they are planning on charging beginning in 2014 and does not apply to our October reservations. Our rate is $149/night plus tax. The tax is about 11%, they said, so that comes to $165.39/night. I’d double-check the total charge on your confirmation email just to be sure; mine added up correctly, so hopefully they all will. The meeting will be held at Tenaya Lodge in Fish Camp, CA from October 30 - November 2, 2013. We have an exciting schedule of speakers, continuing education, a GIS unconference, and a Saturday field trip into the park. We’re hoping for a big turnout for this unique and exciting conference in a beautiful setting. Tell your friends—it should be a great meeting!
