Hi all,

I just wanted to announce that we have reduced the advanced registration rate to $35, but the offer is only good for a limited time and you must register online at www.pmas.org

We have to turn in our numbers for meals this Wednesday, so we would greatly appreciate it if you plan to attend that you register as soon as possible.

I would be glad to haul as many Cleveland, Lorain, etc. attendees with me as would like to save a little on gasoline and tolls. Just let me know. I live near SouthPark mall in Strongsville so I can pick up at a convenent Turnpike exit along the way, or if you are further west, you can park at the starting point here. I can take a van that holds eight, or downsize. Just give me some advance notice so I can plan ahead, move the DVD system, etc.

I couldn't find the address to the zoo to munch it through a map building site. Any one have the address of the correct zoo gate entrance? Also while scouring around the zoo website for their address, I noticed that at 6:30 PM after the conference should be over, there is a special event zoo behind the scenes tour. Does that include the aquatic display?

[Steven Pro]

There are directions here,

I don't know if we will be able to be part of that special event tour. I don't believe it includes the aquarium, though, because several of the zoo staff are getting the day off for our conference. When they did behind the scenes of the aquarium previously, everyone had to work.

[Rhodophyta]

I saw those directions and they didn't help since I am from out of town. I needed the address of the zoo to get a triptik or to use an online map service.

The address is 1 Wild Place Pittsburgh, PA 15206.

I couldn't find it on the zoo website but it was on another Pittsburgh website.

You should be coming from the PA Turnpike, exiting at Cranberry, and taking route 79 south. From there,

From North- I-79 and I 279
