AUBER
2005: Missoula October in Missoula! There is likely to
be a dusting of snow on the mountaintops. The aspen and the
larch will be in full color. Under a clear sky, the highs
will be in the upper sixties. Missoula is a perfect place
for AUBER’s annual fall meeting, scheduled for October
8–11.
- For history buffs, Lewis and Clark came through here
twice, and two campsites are within 30 minutes of downtown
Missoula.
- For those who like to fly-fish, world-class opportunities
are available throughout western Montana. You may even wet
your line right outside our conference hotel.
- For out-of-shape and weary bureau staff, downtown Missoula
has numerous watering holes—including the Oxford,
which boasts a poker game in continuous operation since
1893.
Traveling to Missoula is easier than it may seem, with Delta,
United, Northwest, and Alaska all offering nonstop service.
The city is not served by Southwest, but paying only $90 per
night at the conference hotel, the Holiday Inn Missoula-Parkside,
may recoup some of the airfare. Book early to get the best
fare.
Program organizers Jerry Conover, Indiana University, and
Stephen Smith, University of Memphis, are creating an exciting
selection of workshops and sessions that will appeal to all
bureau staff. The conference
program will begin on Sunday morning (with the possibility
of a workshop or two on Saturday), and conclude by mid-day
on Tuesday. Those traveling to the eastern time zone can make
it home by Tuesday evening. Our field trip will be to one
of the oldest wildlife refuges in the nation, the National
Bison Range, which was established in 1908. Dinner will be
served on the Flathead Reservation, with entertainment provided
by tribal groups.
Start making your plans today. Conference program and registration
materials will be published in the July issue of the newsletter.
We’ll see you in Missoula.
