<div>Hi All,</div>
<div><br></div>
<div>Have people thought about where they are going to be
staying? It is seems to work out well if we are in the same
place.</div>
<div><br></div>
<div>See you there,</div>

<blockquote type="cite" cite><font face="Arial">The 2002 meeting of
the Siouan and Caddoan Languages Conference will be held at Black
Hills State University, in Spearfish, South Dakota, on Friday and
Saturday, May 31 and June 1. Those wishing to present papers
should submit a title and brief abstract to the convener, Dick
Carter, by May 25. (This would be best accomplished by sending
the abstract as an e-mail attachment to </font><a
href="mailto:RichardCarter@bhsu.edu"><font
face="Arial">RichardCarter@bhsu.edu</font></a><font
face="Arial">.) This year we will have a
"parasession" on Friday morning devoted to papers that test
contemporary ideas in linguistic theory against data from Siouan or
Caddoan languages -- although papers which incorporate additional
data from other language families will also be welcome. Other
sessions will welcome papers on<i><b> any</b></i> topic concerning
Siouan or Caddoan languages.</font></blockquote>

<blockquote type="cite" cite><font face="Arial">Rooms for conference
participants have been reserved at Pangborn Hall, a university
dormitory. Those planning to attend the conference and reside
in the dormitory should inform the convener by e-mail. Our
rooms will be on the first floor. Room costs will be
$10.80 per night for double occupancy, $21.60 per night for single
occupancy, with an additional 8% in tax. Persons residing on
campus are also charged a facilities use fee of $7.50, plus 6%
tax. There will also be a nominal registration fee for all
participants, to cover the cost of coffee-break refreshments.
Those who find dormitory living too Spartan may make their own
arrangements at one of the many motels. The following would be
good choices:</font></blockquote>

<blockquote type="cite" cite><font face="Arial">Spearfish is located
at the northern end of the beautiful Black Hills, and weather at the
end of May is ordinarily delightful. For those planning to
drive, Spearfish is located on Interstate Hwy. 90 about 45 miles
north of Rapid City, South Dakota. Those traveling by air will
fly to Rapid City Regional Airport, at which point it would be
easiest to rent a car for the (roughly) 60 mile trip to
Spearfish. There is much to see in the area: the drive through
Spearfish Canyon, a federally designated "Scenic Byway", is
especially fine in late spring. For those interested, casino
gambling is available in the historic town of Deadwood, 17 miles
away. (Supply your own money. And yes, Kevin
Costner <i><b>does</b></i> give you better odds than the state
and national lotteries.)</font></blockquote>

<blockquote type="cite" cite><font face="Arial">For those staying on
campus: dormitory staff will be available for check-in anytime after
noon on Thursday, May 30, and will help with checkout from 10 AM - 12
Noon on Sunday, June 2. (Those wishing to leave on Saturday
night may do so, of course.) Those needing additional
information or assistance should contact Dick Carter at the above
e-mail address. He can also be reached by phone at
605-642-6540.</font></blockquote>
