Re: GAW Regional Mtg in DC June 25

**"* D* I* <g*@enter.net>**

Kathy is being very modest.  She and Cheval Force Opp have done an
outstanding job putting the details of this meeting together.  We have one
of the country's foremost experts on green roofs along with great tours of
three Smithsonian gardens and The ASLA building roof--better than Chicago's
city hall if any of your were on that tour.

Cheval has done wonders getting the cooperation of the Visitor's and
Convention Bureau.

Finally, our meeting is the Monday before the 2007 APGA National Symposium
that starts with full day tours on Tuesday.  They are allowing any GWA
member to register for any of their events at their membership price.

It's going to be a wonderful time to be in DC.  I look forward to having the
maximum number of 50 attendees--we're limited by the size of the bus!

------------------------------------

To secure a place in our 50 maximum attendee count - send National Director 
for Regional 2, Kirk Brown, a check for $35 with a note saying "GWA DC."
(Note 
this is the GWA member price - not sure of nonmember price or if spaces will

be available for nonmembers).

The official registration brochure will not be mailed until 5 weeks before 
the event date.

Please pass on the word to any other interested GWA folks you may know.

Sincerely,
