>From Kim:
Before July 1, the conference is $20 per person and the banquet is $25 per person. After July 1,
it's $25 and $30, respectively. Let me know if you require any vegetarian meals. Send your name,
address, phone #, and a check payable to SFAS to me:

If you plan on bringing fish for the auction, I'd also appreciate a rough idea of what/how many
you'll bring, just for planning purposes. It's a 75% split in your favor.
The conference is at the Clarion Hotel at the SF Airport (yes, there's a free shuttle). The # is
1 800 223 7111 for reservations--the magic word "rainbowfish" should get you our discounted
hotel rates: $99/night single and $119/night double. FYI, you can sometimes get better deals on
airline tickets flying into the nearby Oakland or San Jose airports, but assume that
transportation (other than the bus) from there to SF will cost you $10-$50.
Cheers,
Alex Saunders
