<DIV> <FONT size=3>All,</FONT>
<DIV><FONT size=3>I'm pleased to announce that we have been able to secure an
excellent hotel for a great price for PSUBS Bellingham-Vancouver for the
nights of August 21, 22, and 23. Our headquarters hotel will be
<STRONG>Best Western Plus, Lakeway Inn</STRONG>. We have reserved 10 rooms
each with two beds and 5 rooms each with a single king size bed. That
should be good for 30 people. The room rate is $139 + tax. In
addition, each room will receive a voucher for each day for a
made-to-order breakfast in the <EM>The Oboe Cafe</EM>, one of the hotel's
two restaurants. August is high season on the Washington coast, and these
rooms would normally run over $200 per night. Econo Lodge was quoting
$142 per night and is sold out.</FONT></DIV>

<DIV><FONT size=3>Reservation information and instructions are on the attached
sheet provided by the hotel. If you wish to tack on a day either before or
after the conference, please tell them so when you make your reservation.
There is no way to tell right now if they will have a room available for extra
days, so the sooner you can make your reservations the better. Many of the
hotels in town are already sold out for those dates. Link

<DIV><FONT size=3>If any questions come up as you make your reservations or when
checking in, the Director of Sales is Christine Jenkins. It's always a
good idea to get a confirmation number. A couple of times I would have
been up a creek if i had not done so. <STRONG> <U>If you would please email
me when you make your reservation I can keep track of where we stand on
available rooms and can respond accordingly</U></STRONG>.</FONT></DIV>

subsequent email. PSUBS information and registration is at <A
