(meteorobs) NAMN Meeting
Re: NAMN Summer meeting
There have been enough questions about the planned NAMN meeting scheduled
for this summer, that it is time for an update!
What is being planned is a very informal, and unstructured, get-together,
where
members can meet each other and discuss any topic under the sun.
The meeting is planned for the week of July 11 to 19, in conjunction with a
conference being held at the National Radio Astronomy Observatory in Green
Bank, West Virginia. The center of activities for our NAMN meeting will be
near, but not at, the NRAO.
Due to the nature of our meeting, participants are welcome to arrive and
depart at any time during the week. We will attempt to schedule a tour of
the observatory, and will no doubt make many day trips to local points of
interest. It is expected that our in-person chats will be even more vocal
than those on our mail list or in the chat room! Everyone is invited to
bring along their favorite project(s) to help the discussions along.
There has been some interest expressed in both motel and camping facilities.
So far, we have been able to locate the following:

will be extremely helpful if everyone will contact her and "register",
letting her

lodging. Kim's e-mail address is: kimhay@adan.kingstondot net
If anyone has any questions, comments, or suggestions, please let us know!
