SCLC update

[Rankin, Robert L.]

Dear friends,

Right now the weather forecasts for this weekend in NE Kansas are very reasonable.  Highs in the 80s and at least mostly sunny.  It should be ideal.  Dave and I are organizing airport runs on Thursday afternoon and/or evening.  If you are going to need transportation to Lawrence from the Kansas City airport you should send your flight and arrival time and cellphone number to either me or Dave.  Use our personal email addresses if you wish to keep your number private.  We will want to be able to phone you when we are approaching the terminals in order to let you know when to appear out-front for pick up.  Dave's address is dvkanthro2010 (at) ku.edu and mine is rankin (at) ku.edu.  I'll send my cell number to those who send me theirs.

I haven't been able to participate as actively in the preparations as I had hoped, but Dave has done a terrific job on his own.  I'm looking forward to seeing everyone this weekend.

Best,

Bob

Hi all,

Time is approaching, and this may be my last update before you arrive.  But here are a few things you should know:

1) In order to avoid any misunderstanding later in the week when you arrive at the Halls, you should know that all of the rooms are two-bedroom suites.  If you've reserved a single, as most of you have, you will have your own bedroom, but you will still have to share a bathroom.  For those of you who've reserved a double, this means you will have your roommate in the same bedroom with you, but with separate beds, which may be bunks.  (Yes, this was all confusing to me too.)  In short, each suite has two bedrooms and one bath, four beds total.  A single room means you have your own bedroom (you and one empty bed), but you still share a bathroom with the other bedroom in the suite.  (I hope this makes sense.)

2) You will be provided with a passcode to access Internet when you arrive at the Halls.  I'm assured that all other Internet arrangements are being taken care of by KU Housing, so you should be good to go online once you receive your passcode upon check-in, and there is nothing else you need to do.

3) If you have handouts of your talk, I recommend making 50 copies.  If  you don't want to make them ahead of time, there will be a coupon provided in your conference folder for discount copying at our local Office Depot.  There is also a Kinko's downtown, but unfortunately there is no longer one on campus (and Kinko's does not provide a discount).

I think this covers it for now.  We look forward to seeing you all soon!
