President, one year as Past-President)

already accepted a nomination)

Also, I invite you to save the dates August 10-13, 2006 for our next
annual alumni reunion, in St. Louis Missouri. We will be staying at the
Parkway Hotel http://www.theparkwayhotel.com/ and have reserved two
sets of rooms -- "standard" rooms for $109 a night, or "executive" rooms
on their club floor which include breakfast for $119 a night. Rooms
have 2 queen beds and can easily sleep up to 4 people per room.

We will have registration information online at http://www.nyscaa.org/
as soon as possible. There will be a registration fee (hopefully $100
or less, especially for students - we're still working out the details)
that will include use of hang-out suite, conference rooms, and meeting
rooms; breakfast, sandwich lunch, and snack foods; admissions to most if
not all activities; and Saturday dinner (hopefully also Friday dinner).

Basic outline of the reunion:
Thursday - arrive midday, gather in suite, dinner unplanned or picnic
(TBD), probably an optional organized evening activity (such as
attending 7 Brides for 7 Brothers at the Muny).
Friday - visit area attractions, including the Zoo, Museums. Casual
dinner (hopefully included in package price).
Saturday - morning NYSCAA annual meeting, afternoon seminars, evening
banquet (or at least more formal dinner).
Sunday - Some optional organized morning activity, plan to depart in the
afternoon if possible.

Go ahead and start planning travel and hotel arrangements, and keep an
eye on http://www.nyscaa.org/ and your mailbox for more details! Feel
free to email me at jkl-nysc@... or IM me at jklGoDuke with
questions.
