back to the 1920’s but with renovated amenities.

This is where conference registrations, hospitality room, silent auction, spouses/guests High Tea, and Saturday banquet will take place.

We selected the Westin Poinsett due to its central location to scenic downtown Greenville allowing par- ticipants to enjoy the many sights, shops, and res-taurants within easy walking distance. The Ameri-can Planning Association’s recent designation of

downtown Greenville as one of 10 best downtowns in the US suggest that this was a wise decision.

Conference registration, the hospitality room, and the silent auction will start Friday afternoon at the Westin Poinsett Hotel.

We have adopted a “Chinese New Year in March” theme for Friday evening’s social gathering which will be held at the East China Buffet. While we socialize and enjoy some excellent Chinese food, scenes from China’s Yangtze River, Three Gorges Dam and locks, and other bodies of water will be displaying on flat screen TV’s on the walls. After dinner, we enjoy some traditional Chinese dances.

Saturday’s business meeting will be held at the Lazy Goat Restaurant in the upstairs meeting area with its excellent view of the Reedy River. A buffett lunch

will also take place there. It’s interesting that this restaurant’s chef was recently named one of the nation’s top 4 chefs in a November article in Esquire magazine.

To allow Spouses/Guests to enjoy the downtown Greenville area, no lunch has been scheduled…we felt it more appropriate to allow them to select their own location and cuisine. We encourage them to look for the Mice on Main.
