Dear ARLIS/NA Members:

The Central Plains Chapter has extended an invitation to the Executive
Board to hold ARLIS/NA=92s annual conference in St. Louis in 2002.  St. =
Louis
is an historic city with many cultural attractions, a central location, and
relatively moderate costs.  The city has great museums, universities, and
public libraries.  St. Louis offers significant architecture, historic
neighborhoods, beautiful parks, and a wide variety of ethnic restaurants.
The Gateway Arch, designed by Eero Saarinen and the symbol of the city, is
both an aesthetic and engineering marvel. The Zoo and the Missouri
Botanical Garden have worldwide reputations for excellence. Because of the
city=92s historic role as =93Gateway to the West,=94 the Central Plains =
Chapter
would like the conference theme to address =93the exploration of new
frontiers.=94

This is a formal call for any comments and discussion from the membership.
Please post your message to ARLIS-L no later than
July 1, 1999.

Sincerely,

Kathryn Wayne
