Dear Members:
A great thank you to Ross Dector for organizing a spectacular meeting in Crested Butte, Colorado. The skiing and surroundings certainly met all expectations, and the academic camaraderie outstanding with our wonderfully interactive group.
I would also like to congratulate again, Eugene Minevich, for his secretarial and treasury skills, as well as organizing CME credits, yet again!
Please reserve our usual dates after the Martin Luther King Holiday for our next meeting Tuesday, January 19 through Saturday, January 23, 2010. After searching the North Americas, I am excited to report that our next meeting will be in Napa Valley, California at the world famous Silverado Resort. Through personal knowledge, there are at least ten spectacular golf courses with two on the property, along with tennis courts, a wonderful spa. Also for your enjoyment are the options of bike riding, ballooning, shopping, as well as, of course, world famous wine tasting and the wonderful Napa Valley cuisine.
The Silverado and its spectacular setting have wonderful accommodations. Each room is it’s own suite. We have negotiated a $185.00 a day charge for a one-bedroom, fireplace suite. There is also a $20.00 per night resort fee, which includes bell gratuities, on property transportation, complimentary self and valet parking, unlimited wi fi access, unlimited local and 800 calls, in room coffee and tea, delivery of a newspaper, complimentary tennis and golf bag storage, and access to the fitness and workout facility.
Along with our usual academics with associated CME credits, we have planned a number of extracurricular outings, as well as wine tasting and of course sampling the gourmet cuisine. More information will come your way as the date get closer I look forward to seeing you in Napa Valley.
Best regards,
Laurence S. Baskin
