Friday, November 2
6:00-7:30 pm -- Cocktail party for early arrivals at Gerald Gamm's house

Saturday, November 3
Conference at the University of Rochester, followed by dinner

Special information for Saturday night dinner
At dinner on Saturday night, we will be dispensing with the usual rounds of roasts and toasts. We think that Dick deserves better! So we are inviting any and all of you to offer a brief (and true) story about Dick. We welcome funny stories, silly stories, even serious stories. At dinner, we will call on each of you who has told us you will have a story to tell. So please let Jeff Hill or Bill Bianco know if you will have a story to share that night.

Transportation
A shuttle bus will be picking up guests at the Hyatt and Courtyard Marriott on Saturday morning, then returning them to the hotels on Saturday night.

For the cocktail party on Friday night--and for guests staying at hotels other than the Hyatt and Courtyard Marriott--conference attendees should make arrangements for their own transportation. The Political Science Department will reimburse attendees for all their cab rides. Please save receipts and send them to Kelly Wicks, Department of Political Science, University of Rochester, Harkness Hall 331, Rochester, NY 14627-0146.

There is no need to rent a car. For those who wish to rent cars, the University of Rochester has a contracted price with Enterprise. Attendees may call Enterprise (1-800-261-7331) or find them on the web and give them our contract #29A3292. They'll get an exact rate quote for the time period they request.
