Sponsorship: CSA generously donated $250 to cover the cost of breakfast for the Saturday panel participants. CARL generously donated $1800 to be used toward the speaker fee for the Friday morning plenary.

iii. Communications: Tracey Mayfield verified that there will be no transportation arranged by the Bahia, SCIL or LOEX between the Catamaran and the conference. A message board may be posted at the Catamaran to facilitate attendee arrangements for walking buddies or carpools. The walk from the Catamaran to the Bahia is approximately 1mi and does not require attendees to walk along the street. Emails have been sent advising attendees of likely weather conditions. The schedule of Registration Desk coverage has been distributed. The table will be open Thursday 1-7pm, Friday 7am-4pm, and Saturday 7am-2pm.
