TASKS PRIOR TO NOVEMBER 10

Quick notes for now--we can tidy up later:

--find out minimal room requirements from Kim and Peter; provide info to Jan

--assemble info sufficient enough to present each school with the travel and lodging info that they need, so that we can urge participants to firm up their plans.  in the process, try to get a commitment and a head count!!

--Inform schools of our tentative "The First-year (In)Experience" title.  Solicit reactions and suggestions; and come up with a listing of particular initiatives that member schools can present to others that are germane to the conference theme.  

--Jan will keep the conversation going, perhaps making contact with new parties in the St. Paul area can contribute to our gathering.

--Ron will try to push forward with Walnut Hill and Interlochen

--We'll mull over the facilitator question (John S; David K)
