[Ncabs] Date for Student Seminar 2010

[Gary H. Ray]

I am wondering why the reticence to have the event on Saturday, March 27?

The NC Conference on Blindness and Visual Impairment is Thursday and Friday,
March 25 & 26.  This is the Super Conference.  I will be attending this
event, and will be happy to fold over until the next day and do NCABS.

What exactly has that got to do with us having the NCABS weekend?

As far as I personally am concerned, I am not sure I am willing to hike my
ass back and forth across the state a number of times to come to Super
Conference AND an NCABS event.

So, yeah, I have a major problem with April 10.  But, am interested in
hearing reasons for and against.

Hi all,

On our October conference call we agreed that Saturday, March 27 would work
well as a date to hold a student seminar in Raleigh at the GMS campus.

 

We have full support from the staff at the campus in Raleigh to hold our
event. However, they have advised that we should consider alternate dates as
there is another event on campus on March 25 and 26.

 

They have suggested March 20 or April 10 as alternate dates. On the call,
many of you expressed concerns about holding the conference in early or mid
March due to spring breaks from colleges. I think that the 10th of April,
2010 would work well for our conference.

 

With that said, I would like to make sure nobody has any known conflicts
with holding the conference on Saturday, April 10. Does this date work for
the rest of you?
