SUB SPACE CHATTER:
THE PRE- R7 CONFERENCE EDITION
by ADM Bob Vosseller
Vice Coordinator
Region 7
Welcome to autumn 2013. We’re about one month away to perhaps the most exci ng regional event of the year, the R7
Conference! It will be held at the Embassy Suites in Maryland on the weekend of November 8?10. The bulk of programming will
be on Saturday with some panels and workshops held on Sunday. Friday evening will be the RC mixer hosted by RC Wayne.
The Embassy Suites is in Hunt Valley, right across the street from the Hunt Valley Inn, home to Shore Leave.
Room rates are $129 per night (sleeps 4) and $149 per night (sleeps 6). We do not have to purchase any minimum num?
ber of rooms. The mee ng room(s) will be what the region is paying for.
Wayne and I have been working on panels and workshop ideas and the schedule is just about complete and will be post?
ed shortly.
The restaurant for the Saturday night dinner will be the "Silver Springs Mining Company" a favorite of our RC (and VRC
too). Two words… fried pickles!!!
