Parking

    Campus parking is very limited and construction of the new Performing Arts Center has greatly restricted the use of parking close to the Alumni Center. There is a parking lot (VP1) close to the meeting location, although it will be necessary to walk around the construction in order to get to the building. If anyone needs a conference parking pass ahead of time, contact Allison Mitchell, armitchell@ucdavis.edu, who will send you one. Otherwise, you may purchase a permit for $4.00/day from the machines in the parking lot.

Dinner (Evening of May 21)

    We have planned an evening dinner cruise aboard the Matthew McKinley, a paddle wheeler that plies the Sacramento River. The two-hour excursion includes dinner and no-host beverages. The cost is $31.50 per person and includes tax and tip. For billing purposes, please provide a recharge account number from your campus to cover your portion ($31.50) of this group event. Please bring cash to purchase evening beverages.

    Transportation to and from the dinner will be provided. Please meet in the hotel lobby at 6:00 p.m. The shuttle will pick folks up at 6:05 p.m.
