As of this writing, we are still waiting for hotel information from a few places before coming to a decision on where to hold the convention. We also set a tentative date for the convention of May 4-5, 2001. Being that it is the weekend after Astronomy Day that year, the group unanimously decided to forgo Astronomy Day activities for that weekend. Two major activities back to back deemed to much, too soon. We are still looking for a theme for our convention.
General consensus is that it deal with the new millennium in some way.
The theme is high up on our priority list, as we would like to start soliciting speakers. It would be better if we could gear the talks to our theme. It was also decided that we would not plan an organized trip to the Barlow Planetarium. Rather, we furnish a flyer with show times and directions and let the guests go on their own if they wish. Talk was centered around a sign-up on the registration form and discussing carpools.
