Hi All, The GNSI Conference plans are pretty much set now. We have many, many activities planned for you all and many more activities that you can participate in that we haven't planned for. Our website lists many things to do and places to go to in the Raleigh area as well as lots of conference information. Go to: www.gnsi.science-art.com/2010NC. We've got lots of parks close-by and miles of greenway trails to walk, bike, or jog. We have a free gym located in a building next to our apartments, as well as a volleyball net that we can use. (You'll need to bring your own ball.) To find maps of the greenway system go to: www.gnsi.science-art.com/2010NC/links/linksmain.html#raleigh We also have many really good bars that sell really, really good local brews. The Boylan Bridge, in my humble opinion, has an excellent selection and is just a couple of miles down the road. (They also have outdoor seating, which is wonderful in the summer.) I think that we now have just about every nationality of restaurants. Go to: www.gnsi.science-art.com/2010NC/accomodations/dining.html to view a selection of restaurants that are close-by. (Well, I also included some that aren't so close-by, but are my favorites, couldn't help it.) There are many places to take the kids. There's the Museum of Natural Science, the Museum of Art, the Museum of History, Exploris Kids Museum, Marbles, and Pullen Park pool, to name just a few. For a fairly full list of area going-ons and places to go, go to: www.gnsi.science-art.com/2010NC/links/linksmain.html#raleigh. We have plenty of spaces available in all workshops and field trips. Trudy's Scratchboard workshop is the closest to filling, but there are still open slots. So, get those conference registration forms in and reserve your spot now. Cheers, Patricia Savage 816 Valerie Dr. Raleigh, NC 27606 www.psavageartist.com [log in to unmask] 919-859-2789 >> ________________________________________________ >> >> Need to leave or subscribe to the Sciart-L listserv?
