The Workshop draft agenda, registration link and these hotel

We will email you when these are working. For those wishing to watch 
the Superbowl we'll set up bar and big screen again!

For those who have a problem with these dates we apologize but the 
Lodge is becoming very popular and these are the best dates we could 
confirm for the number of us that we are hoping will attend this workshop.

Please make your hotel reservations as soon as possible -  the 
current cut off date set by the Lodge for all group reservations is 
January 9, 2006.

The charming historic town of Sonoma is about 1 hour drive north of 
both San Francisco (SFO) and Oakland (OAK) Airports and about 2 hours 
from San Jose in the heart of the Wine Country.

For those wishing additional space with their room, we have reserved 
1 Lodge suite at $295 per night and one Cottage suite at $450 per 
night. There are two more of each available if needed. Please contact 
Bill Boas if you wish these rooms as the Lodge will assign your name 
on receipt of your credit card guarantee.

The Lodge looks forward to welcoming the Open IB Alliance back!. If 
your members need additional hotel information please contact them.

Very best wishes for the Season from Maureen Keesey Fuentes, Group 
Housing Coordinator, and Nedra Peterson Senior Account Executive (707-935-8916)
