Steve -- Steve Marak -- samarak@gizmoworks.com ---------- Forwarded message ---------- Subject: Fw: A Reminder about the Xth International Aroid Conference Dear Aroiders:             I just wanted to send out an announcement that the time is soon approaching when you need to register for the Xth International Aroid Conference in Nancy, France.  The deadline for early registration is March 31st.  I am sure that many of you intend to go but like me have forgotten about this deadline.  The price is 85 Euros but will then become 100 Euros after the 31st.  This is really a good deal if you consider that it covers the cost of the meetings, as well as Breakfasts, coffee breaks and lunches.  Please remember also that they are making cheap accommodations available at the University housing for only 22 Euros.  Nancy is very easy to get to.  Just take the train from Charles de Gaulle airport in Paris to Gare 'l Est, then go by bullet train to Nancy.  We will have more explicit schedules available before you arrive.  For those of you who attended the 1999 International Aroid Conference here in St. Louis, the conference we held in Kunming, China or the conference we had in Kunming, Sarawak I don't need to emphasize how much fun this will be but I think that this is something you should not miss.  Nancy is a marvelous city, small enough to get around in quickly yet filled with mystery and fun things.  The Nancy Botanical Garden and the adjacent University are really wonderful places.  I was astonished with the aroid collection when I first went there the first time and it is even better today.  The banquet for the conference will be held in the famous Hotel de Ville, the fabulous residence of the city government on Place Stanislaus, one of the wonders of Europe.  The palace is akin to Versailles Palace near Paris.  It will be a memorable event.  So make plans to attend and be sure to register for the conference before March 31st to save 15 Euros.  We have a educational 3 days of presentations planned and a trip to the Vosges Mountains to visit the beautiful gardens of Chitelet and Calla palustris populations.  There will no doubt be many of our European aroiders present for the first time.           I enclose a link here to see more details for those who might have missed this on the first sending or for those you who might not have saved it or lost it.  Check out the details of the conference, the schedule of papers and the social events and act on this right away.
