Yes! The Vinoy does have what I understand is an excellent golf course (not being a golfer, I cannot speak from experience on this one). It would be best to schedule tee times very early in the morning before it gets really hot (and before the conference program starts!). You may want to follow up a Sunday golf outing with brunch in the Vinoy's Terrace Room, which is supposed to be just incredible (reservations strongly recommended; Sundays 10 a.m to 2 p.m., I believe).
 
And for those of you who enjoy tennis -- the Vinoy has several lighted tennis courts, and the weather in the evenings is usually much cooler and a lot less humid than during the day.

Subject: golf anyone?


Hi, everyone. Since the hotel is also a golf club, is anyone interested in some golf?  My lessons have progressed to the point that I am planning to join the LPGA tour either next year or the year after, so I will need to practice while at the conference.  After all, at my age, every minute of practice counts!!!!!  (And, I actually do break 100--not telling you which side I break!).
 
I am guessing the entire group will not want to hear about golf plans so if interested let me know at my e-mail address which is

I will be happy to schedule some tee times.

Subject: DEADLINE FOR PAPERS FOR ST PETE IS JUNE 1!


Just a reminder -- it's time to start finalizing your plans for paper presentations and panels at the St. Pete conference. Tthe deadline for submitting your Call for Papers for is June 1. Only the paper title and abstract is due at this time, not the full paper.  (You must have 30 copies of the full paper for distribution in St. Pete, however).
 
Also, Proceedings submissions are due to Ernie King by June 1 -- this obviously would require submission of the full paper. 
 
The Call-for-Papers and information on Proceedings submissions can be found at the conference website -- go to www.ALSB.org, and click on the link to the 2006 annual conference in the upper right-hand corner. And feel free to contact me if you have any questions or if I can be of any assistance.
 
Looking foward to seeing everyone in St. Pete on August 8-12th!
