CONFERENCE ANNOUNCEMENTS
Space Reserved at Alternate Hotel
We have so much interest in conference that some of you may be having trouble booking rooms at the Hilton Minneapolis Hotel where the conference is being held. To accomodate the overflow we have contracted room blocks at an alternate hotel, the Doubletree Guest Suites Minneapolis, located just one and a half blocks away. http://www.phassociation.org/Conference/2006/Hotel-and-Activities.asp
