*** Please respond to my school address, mweston@gds.org. ***

Sixteen people have responded about getting together at the NECC
conference. I have written to you all directly, so ignore this posting =
on
ISED and respond to the message from your mail box.

If you have not responded and would like to be a part of this
get-together, please be in touch with me at mweston@gds.org.

I have contacted the Capitol City Brewing Company near the Convention
Center, and they are getting back to me. I expect a dinner will cost
between $20 and $30 per person depending on who has beer and wine and =
who
goes the iced tea route. I am thinking Sunday night the 28th or Monday
night the 29th, probably around 6:15 or so. The dinner will be a cash
transaction, so you should come prepared to pay for dinner, tax (big in
DC) and tip.

I know, based on past experience with get-togethers at conferences, that
everyone will not be able to come, so please e-mail me (mweston@gds.org)
with the night that is better for you.

A second and cheaper option would be to have it at my Arlington house
(right across the river), near the East Falls Church metro stop (a 20
minute ride) or an easy drive from downtown, and have my husband ferry
people to the house from the Metro (3 minutes, which he would happily do
-- though he works in epidemiology he loves ed tech people). I have =
lots
of wine and soft drinks left over from my daughter's May 2nd wedding. =
We
could order pizza and a salad or something else.

A third and cheapest option is to ask NECC if we can use a room at the
Convention Center late in the afternoon (5:30 or so?), just to sit =
around
and talk, but I'd like to ask Howard Levin about this since he probably
knows just the right person to call. If someone has his e-mail or can
forward this to him.

So you need to answer these questions.
-- If you haven't let us know you are interested, are you?
-- Which venue do you prefer?
-- Which night do you prefer?
-- If we schedule for the night you DO NOT prefer, can you still =
make it?

My best,
