- Additional Info:
- I have moved things over to the Club House Inn (http://www.albuquerque.clubhouseinn.com). The phone number for registration and other info is on the website.
People could arrive on Sunday Jan. 7th and stay for any part of the week. As we talked about the plans would be for the meeting to start (Jan 8th) Monday at 1 PM and end on Tuesday at noon. The motel has a (relatively good) breakfast and a happy hour in the evenings. I stay here all the time when I travel to Albuquerque. I am working up a contract for accommodations with the motel. I have told them 10 people and there is a relatively small conference room we could use. They have a bigger room (more money) if we need it. Let me know if there is more information that you will need.
The motel rate is $68 + tax.
