If you fit the description, a reunion is being planned for the last week of June in Seattle, from Thursday afternoon, June 27 through Sunday morning, June 30. The following was sent out by the organizing committee on 17 April and, if you fit the description, please do respond to the committee! Mary Kelley has all the details and you can see I'm just the messenger in this case. Even if you can't come, please send your contact information to Mary. This is shaping up to be one of THE geographic events of this new century. Sorry the gorgeous cherry blossom picture from the Quad didn't make the transition to this all text document for transmission to this list. virginia hetrick (aka [log in to unmask]) Information received from Mary Kelley: Our preliminary schedule includes Thursday evening reception with light food and beverages, daily buffet breakfasts together (included in room charge or reserved in advance if staying elsewhere), one dinner together, social time late afternoons and evenings, a Friday campus visit, possible Saturday Seattle excursion, and plenty of free time to explore or just spend time with friends. The Silver Cloud University District Hotel provides shuttle service to the light rail station (airport and downtown), campus, and U District, so no need for a car. We have reserved a block of rooms for a reduced rate at the Silver Cloud University District Hotel, 5036 25th Ave NE, at the north edge of University Village. Our group name for reserving a room is “Geography Alumni.” Call 1-800-205-6940 before May 28 to make a reservation at the reduced rate. Spouses are welcome! Even if you are unable to attend, we request your response to Mary Kelley. If you need further information, please contact Mary at [log in to unmask] or at 541-281-4320. We will provide more detailed information once we hear from you. Thanks and we hope to see you in June!
