GSCIS Luncheon-New Orleans

Dear Members:
As you know, our Distinguished Scholar Honoree luncheon is the highlight of our (non-panel) events at the annual conference. This year it will be held on Friday from 11.30 am-1pm (we can begin emeting at 11) in the Cafe Adelaide, New Orleans Loews, a 2 minute walk from the Hilton and less than 1 minute from Le Meridien, our third hotel with panels. Please check google maps for details. 
As usual, we ask for a voluntary contribution of $5 (students) and $10 (faculty) toward the luncheon and awards for our honorees.If you choose to contribute (and we especially understand if students cannot afford it), you can give us the contribution at the door or at any time before or after the event.

1. At this time please confirm that this is the correct list of attendees (persons who are dropping in late and therefore will not be dining are excluded from this list.). Let me know ASAP if you are no longer attending.
