SF hotel situation LSA/ADS

[Steve Kl.]

I received this email from Ivan Sag, who passed on the message from LSA
president Joan Bybee. Members of the ADS who haven't been to a meeting and
therefore aren't members of the LSA this year might not be aware of this.
So, I'm passing on the word.

Dear Members,

As you may know, the Hyatt Regency San Francisco where we planned to
hold the 2005 Annual Meeting is involved in a labor dispute. As we
assume that many of our members would not want to cross picket lines,
we are seeking alternative sites for the meeting in case the dispute
is not settled. The LSA Executive Committee has determined that
maintaining the stated dates and finding a suitable location in the
San Francisco Bay Area are of the highest priority. The Secretariat is
exploring the options in the Bay Area over the 6-9 January dates and
will report to the Executive Committee which will then decide if a
change is warranted.  In order to keep you informed of any changes as
promptly as possible, we ask that you please check the LSA site
(http://www.lsadc.org) for updates on the situation. While we feel
that it relatively safe to make your travel reservations, you may wish
to wait a few days before making reservations at the Hyatt.

I thank you for your patience and look forward to seeing you in
January.

Sincerely

Joan Bybee
President
