Hello -- Jane Fisher, VRA Pacific Rim Chapter Chair, recently announced to
the chapter some preliminary information about the chapter's upcoming
meeting on Sunday, August 3rd, in Portland, OR:
"The theme [for the chapter meeting] is the upcoming [VRA] Portland
conference in March 04, so we are trying
to get space at the restaurant located in the Hilton, the conference hotel,
for brunch in the morning. We will conduct our business meeting during this
time. We hope to give a tour of the Hilton spaces that we will be using and
may have a space set aside for a short time for those who want to give
presentations about what they learned at the Houston meeting. The local
planning committee should plan on giving an update of what has been done,
and what we have to do next. We are also looking at arranging for a walking
tour around the Hilton area and downtown to familiarize everyone with the
venue.
A number of us may stay at the Hilton Saturday night and we could have an
informal dinner that night if people are interested. I hope to end the
annual meeting on Sunday around 4 or so, to accommodate people who have a
ways to travel to get home."
We chose the date of August 3rd in order to allow people to more easily
participate in both the ARLIS regional conference and the Pacific Rim
Chapter meeting. We encourage ARLIS members to participate in VRA meetings,
and we will be sure to let you know when our registration materials are
available. The cost of the meeting will be minimal.
I am writing now because we are wondering if any ARLIS people who were not
able to sign up for the ARLIS-sponsored Sunday morning walking tour would
like to join us for our private walking tour in the afternoon. We are using
the same company and will be doing the "Best of Portland" tour. The URL for
the tour description is below. If you think you might want to join us,
please let me know ASAP. We need a rough count in order to make our down
payment and reserve the tour time. Thank you!
