to be announced

Accommodations:

The meeting will be held at the Chena Hot Springs Resort. Rooms have been reserved for the nights of the 15th-17th at the rate of $143.20 per night. You have to make reservations 45 days in advance (around May 31) to get this rate. Call 907-451-8104 for reservations and information. There are also many nice campgrounds nearby. Remember to bring your swimsuit. Chena Hot Springs is about 60 miles outside of town, so many people will likely need rides from the airport. The resort does offer a shuttle service which is pricey unless you have enough people to share the ride. We'll try to arrange some carpools as the meeting gets closer.
