> Subject:      Tucson Conference
>
> <<File: Tucson WESTOP Agenda.doc>>
> Good morning Central CA,
> I checked with Damian Peņa, WESTOP Conference Chair, regarding the
> status of Central Cal members' attendance and he mentioned that as of
> Friday March 26 twenty (20) people have registered under Central CA.
> While the number is higher than the six that was originally reported I
> am still concerned about the low attendance.  By the way, the total
> number of registered attendees for the whole conference is 275. At the
> same time it is my understanding that the hotel is sold out with over
> 400 people registered under WESTOP. My suspicion is that many Central CA
> members are planning to register on-site.  In order for me to gauge the
> real attendance I want to have an "electronic show of hands." So please
> answer these basic questions for me and reply with your answer.  You can
> reply to me directly or on the listserv.

> Answer 1:       Yes, I am attending and have registered already
> Answer 2:       Yes, I am attending but plan to register on-site
> Answer 3:       No, I do not plan to attend
>
> I would also like to give you an update on the conference and highlight
> some meetings.  I am attaching a word document with the schedule of
> events and below I am listing some of the workshops already approved.
