Welcome!
The ELNA conference is rapidly approaching. This will be the only
buletin for the 2000 annual conference.
The (tentative) agenda is available at
http://jimhenry.home.avana.net/esp/esma/horaro.htm If you don't have
access to the web, please e-mail me immediately to ask me to e-mail this
to you.
I would like to note a few important things:
Registration begins at 3pm on Thursday the 18th.
The get-to-know-everyone evening begins at 9pm on the 18th.
If there are any other participants who know Aikido, who would be willing
to help Ms. TAKENAKA, please e-mail her at nacuko@cypress.ne.jp or contact
her at the conference.
MARTA (that is the transport system here) cards will be available at
registration. There will also be extra cards available for purchase for
non-participants at a cost of $9 a card.
DIRECTIONS:
The conference will be at the Ramada Downtown Atlanta at 70 John Wesley
Dobbs AVE, Atlanta GA 30303 (404) 659-2660
The easiest way to get to the conference hotel is by MARTA. One MARTA
token costs $1.50 and takes you anywhere one-way in the system. There is
quite a bit of information on MARTA available at http://www.itsmarta.com
The hotel is two streets over from the Peachtree Center (N1) station which
is on the North (Dunwoody) and Northeast (Doraville) rail lines. There is
a MARTA station in the airport (Airport - S7), and at the Greyhound
station (Garnet - S1) from either of which you would just take a
north/northeast bound train to Peachtree Center. >From the Amtrak
station, take bus 23 south to Arts Center Station (N5) and then catch a
southbound (Airport) train to Peachtree Center. Once in the Peachtree
Center MARTA station, you want to go to the Ellis Street Exit (or you can
just follow the signs on the information directories for Ramada Downtown).
Exiting the MARTA station to the right, you should see the Georgia
Pacific Building. You want to follow it to JW Dobbs. Then make a left
and go 2 blocks to the Ramada.
Driving:
>From 75/85 Southbound: Exit 249A Courtland, 3 blocks south on Courtland
>at JW Dobbs. From 75/85 Northbound: Exit 248 C International BLVD, left
>onto international, left onto courtland at JW Dobbs. From 20 East: Exit
>75/85 North, follow above. From 20 West: Exit 75/85 South, follow above.
For a shuttle from the Airport, you can call Atlanta Airport Shuttle at
(404) 524-3400. It is $12/person one-way to the Ramada Downtown on JW
Dobbs.
We are eagerly awaiting you!
