Dear Sonoma workshop participants: A couple of organizational items need your urgent attention. 1) We've belatedly realized that some participants will show up with spouses or partners, especially since we are staging this workshop in a rather nice place. This note is to point out that these persons would be welcome at the opening reception (Tuesday evening, 17:00-19:00), at the nightly wine bar/poster sessions, and at the Thursday dinner. We will have to charge an extra $100 per person for this. The payment can be made in person or via our Web site at http://sprg.ssl.berkeley.edu:80/RHESSI/rst/ Apologies to all for having omitted this before. 2) It is time to express preferences for the Thursday evening banquet. The restaurant offers a choice, and we must order ahead of time; it will be too late for them at the actual registration, so you need to choose now or be assigned something willy-nilly. Especially if you are a vegetarian please let us know - just send a note to the e-mail address below (info@rhessi-soho-trace.org). Choice A: Cous cous with grilled skewers of marinated vegetables Choice B: Grilled salmon with herb-braised artichokes and brandade cake Choice C: Rotisserie pork loin with semolina gratin, garlicky broccolini and imported mustard fruits Sonoma LOC (info@rhessi-soho-trace.org)
