Dear Ladies and Gentlemen,

Please find below the agenda for the Shenandoah Valley GIS Users Group
meeting on Friday, May 2, 2008.

Please note that we will meet in the Allegheny Room of the JMU Festival
Conference and Student Center. The Allegheny Room is in the same
building we usually meet and have our lunch. The following web address
will give you driving directions to the Festival and additional maps of
our meeting location: http://www.jmu.edu/festival/directions.shtml

You will be treated to a continental breakfast, compliments of JMU's
Department of Integrated Science and Technology. Our lunch will be on
campus at the Festival, an eating facility featuring domestic and
international foods. However, you will be responsible for paying for
your lunch.


*******************************************************************
*Please send an e-mail to "Kraenzle, Helmut" <kraenzhx@jmu.edu>
<mailto:kraenzhx@jmu.edu>  by Wednesday, April 30, 2008, if you will
attend the Shenandoah Valley GIS Users Group Meeting! *
**
*If you have already sent me an e-mail a few days ago that you plan to
attend, I kindly ask you to reply to this email again. This time, I need
a fairly exact head count in order to plan for the continental
breakfast.*
*******************************************************************

If you park in the C11 or C12 parking lot you will not need a parking
permit for Friday (see map: http://www.jmu.edu/map/skyline.shtml).

We are looking forward to seeing you, and we hope we will have a
successful and productive meeting.

Best wishes,
Helmut Kraenzle & James Wilson
