> Aho,
> 
> We have an exciting update regarding the 2011 Siouan and Caddoan Languages Conference, to be held Wednesday, June 15, through Saturday, June 18, 2011 at the tribal complex of the Iowa Tribe of KS and NE, which is located 6 miles NW of White Cloud, KS, at 3345 Thrasher Road, White Cloud, KS 66094 (http://www.casinowhitecloud.org/iowatribe.html).
> 
> The Iowa Tribe of KS and NE has anounced a special conference rate of $30 per night on rooms at the casino cabins (http://www.casinowhitecloud.org/dining.html) and also at the Squaw Creek Eagles Nest Motel (http://www.casinowhitecloud.org/eaglesnest.html).
> 
> There are ONLY FOUR casino cabins (normally $60 per night), which have a double bed and are less than one mile from the conference location, gas station & convenience store, and tribal casino, which serves breakfast, lunch, and dinner to order in addition to lunch and dinner buffets. For reservations, call 785-595-3430.  Mention the Conference rate in effect.  Note however, the cabins will be rented on a first come, first serve basis.  In other words, the cabins will not be held on reserve.  Therefore, for those who are interested and have the cabins as a preference, early reservations are advised.
> 
> The Iowa Tribe's Eagles Nest Motel has 23 rooms (normally $50 plus $7 per additional person per night), which have two double beds and are 20 miles from the conference location. The tribe has a six passenger shuttle van that provides free transportation between the motel and the casino/ conference site. The motel is connected to a gas station & convenience store and restaurant. It is also located three miles from the scenic Squaw Creek National Wildlife Refuge (http://www.fws.gov/midwest/squawcreek/). For reservations, call 660-442-3267 or 1-866-994-1320.
> 
> Again, the special conference rate for both options is $30 per room per night with no extra charge for additional persons in a room.
> 
> Conference registration will take place at the conference. A $20 conference fee will help cover associated costs (refreshments, building setup and cleanup, etc.).  As is customary, theoretical and comparative linguistics presentations will be scheduled first, and the applied and community linguistics presentations will follow.  While May 1, 2011,  is the final date to submit an abstract, it would be appreciated if those who are planning a presentation could let us know sooner rather than later for scheduling purposes.  Presentations are usually 20 minutes followed by 10 minutes for questions and comments, but presenters with different needs can be accommodated if they let us know beforehand.  Presenters should plan to bring a sufficient supply of their various handouts.
> 
> All are invited for supper on Friday evening at the Goodtracks home near town at 1510 Wisconsin Street, White Cloud, KS.  Vegetarian options will be provided.  Those with other special diets or food allergies may be able to be accommodated if they let us know beforehand.  Nonalcoholic beverages will be provided, so if you desire, BYOB.
> 
> Please do not hesitate to send questions, comments, and presentation intentions, titles, and/ or abstracts to conference organizers.
> 
> Have a Happy and Blessed Holidays to all,
