Note: After the Conference we may gather at a local venue (TBD) with adequate indoor seating for our group (a 6pm sunset makes it too chilly for outdoor seating). If we are not able to do due to unforeseen circumstances, or you prefer to eat elsewhere for whatever reason, there are plenty of dining options in the immediate vicinity.
