Dear CfAO Steering Committee:
Thanks
very much for your quick responses to our poll about a Northern
California site for this year's Fall Retreat. Lake Arrowhead was urging
us to "move to contract" in order to guarantee our reservation for this
coming November, so we needed to make a quick decision. Unfortunately,
there was only enough time to investigate four of the eight proposed
Northern California sites in depth; all of these had costs considerably
more than Lake Arrowhed.
Hence in our poll of
the Steering Committee, Lake Arrowhead got the most votes (seven votes
to four), with the Berkeley Clark Kerr Conference Center coming in
second. Most of you agreed that we should go to Lake Arrowhead this
coming fall because time was short and the other sites seemed expensive,
but that with more time to research other sites, we should find a less
expensive Northern California location for next year. People liked the
idea of holding the Fall Retreat in Northern and Southern California in
alternate years. Also, Don Gavel and I are applying for an NSF Workshop
grant that might be used next year to help defray the costs for grads
and postdocs.
Soon we'll resume researching
different Northern California sites and pass that information along to
you for feedback. I've listed below the sites we will be considering
(always looking for less expensive rates). Please let us know if you
think of other sites that we should explore.
Thanks!
