Greetings all, Thanks to all who have responded to yesterday's email. I was out in the afternoon, so I will return phone messages as the day goes on. I want to stress that the room rate deadline is again, midnight, Sept. 7th, and want to ensure that you receive this rate. Even if you are "tentative" with your plans, I would suggest you book a room. I greatly appreciate program "spokes persons" from the entire CenCal membership to give me feedback on their specific situation as it pertains to attendance at this years event. If you know for sure that your entire program will not be attending, it would be greatly appreciated to communicate this information to me ASAP. This would help for planning purposes. Attached you will find the reservation link for the Hotel, Presenter letter for call for papers, and the "Call for Papers" document. Please assist in our search for a "presenter's pool" of candidates for this year's seminar. "Success seems to be connected with action. Successful people keep moving.
