The meeting will begin at 9:00 AM on Thursday, October 27, and conclude at noon on Friday. We will schedule a group meal outing for those arriving in time on Wednesday evening. <br /> <br /> While most of you have participated in the past, I’ve included a few others who might be interested. You can learn more about this meeting at:<br /> <br /> http://www.nimss.org/projects/view/mrp/outline/13956<br /> <br /> The AAA office is located 40 miles north of the Kansas City airport. If participants flying in are interested in sharing a rental car, I can connect those arriving around the same time if you send me your flight schedule. We can also arrange a shared shuttle from the airport if many arrive at a similar time. There will not be a registration fee for the meeting, and AAA/AGI will provide meals for Thursday and Friday lunches, and Thursday dinner.<br /> <br /> We have reserved rooms at the Stoney Creek Hotel and Conference Center near the Association offices, http://www.stoneycreekhotels.com/hotel/travel/stjoseph/home.do.
