[California] Fwd: California Geographical Society - Spring Conference, Davis California, April 27-29th

[Alex Mandel]

Upcoming conference this April to be hosted by UC Davis Geography 
Graduate Group. There is some discussion about doing a technology 
session. I encourage all of you to consider submitting a talk, poster, 
map, or to attend this low cost and entertaining event.

For those wondering about audience, this conference is typically made up 
of Cal State and Junior College faculty and students, with some 
attendance from UC and High schools. It would be great to bring a little 
more industry in to give students at the conference an idea of where 
their careers might take them.

Thanks,
Alex

Greeting Geographers (fellow Jedis---as I address my Padawan learners, er..
students)

Registration for the 66th annual conference of the California Geographical
Society is now open!

This year's theme "A Taste of Davis".  The fine folks from the Davis
Geography Graduate Group and Sacramento State have put together a really
cool line up of field trips and speakers, many of which have a "foodie"
theme.  Of course, there will be field trips, papers, posters and
cartographic exhibitions about more traditional geographic concerns as well.

I wanted to send a special note to those of you who might want to go on the
Delta Field trip.  Because the trip includes a visit to security-sensitive
water projects, all persons must submit their driver's license to the field
trip organizers who will get you security clearance with the authorities to
visit these facilities.  The deadline for registering for this trip will 28
days before the trip itself.  We'll contact you with details.

Please help us make this the best conference ever by registering early and
encouraging students to fully participate in all the events and research
papers.

We're going to have great fun.  Don't miss out.

To register, click on the link below and follow the instructions.  If you
are presenting a paper, map or poster; make sure you have your title and
abstract ready *in advance.  *Our dear friend Dr. William Bowen and his
wife Marilyn are encouraging wide participation by buying the banquet
ticket for presenters!  Thanks Bill and Marilyn!   There is discounted
registration for presenters as well.

We're using PayPal again, so you might want to have your credit card ready
as well.

The registration form is upgraded this year.  It's much more compact, easy
to print, submit and share.  You MUST have Adobe Reader (or Acrobat) on
your computer for it to work properly...most of you do.  Mac users may
not...but it's free to install it.  Follow the instructions and you'll be
fine!

Here's the link to get started.  Can't wait to see you all again in late
April!
