¡Bienvenidos!
Make plans to
spend Memorial Day weekend on the border in El Paso, Texas. The Local
Arrangements Committee for the 2006 SSA Annual Meeting has prepared a
fun-filled calendar of activities to complement the plenaries and
sessions. See the enclosed preliminary program for details.
To emphasize the
international setting of this meeting, the opening reception on Thursday
will be in Cd. Juárez at the beautiful Museo Histórico de Ciudad Juárez
(at the Ex-Aduana, or old Customs House). Although you’ll need some form
of photo identification, a passport isn’t necessary for re-entry. A
local historic property will be available for those who don’t want to
venture across the border.
On Friday, we
will enjoy a progressive dinner reception at a number of beautiful
venues in downtown El Paso. Sites include the renovated main branch of
the El Paso Public
Library as well as the newly renovated Plaza Theatre.
Please check out
the Annual Meeting website at
http://southwestarchivists.org/HTML/Meeting.htm, as we add more
information about things to do in El Paso as well as the El Paso
Convention and Visitor’s Bureau website at

Be thinking of
SLOTTO items to bring with you to El Paso!
Please
note that the morning workshop on May 25th, Exhibits: From Blah to Bodacious II, has
been cancelled.
