>OTHERWISE, A RENTAL CAR IS YOUR OTHER OPTION.
>
>LOCAL TRANSPORTATION: There aren't any motels/hotels within walking
>distance of the meeting place. We assume that, between private cars and
>rental cars, most everyone will have transportation. If not, we can car
>pool or make other arrangements.
>
>ACCOMODATIONS: The following motels, located on the north side of town,
>are all new and within walking distance to good eating places. There's a
>restaurant located next door to the following two motels: Hampton Inn
>(719) 544-4700 and Comfort Inn (800) 228-5150. The other motels in the
same
>general area are the La Quinta, (800) 531-5900, Econolodge (800) 800-8000
and
>the Wingate Inn, (800) 228-1000. The Holiday Inn, Days Inn and Motel 6
are
>within the same general area.
>The Greenhorn Mountain Resort, (719) 676-3315, is the closest motel to the
>Anza/Cuerno Verde battle site. It's about 23 miles out of town.
>The following are located in the downtown area therefore closer to the

>542-1061 and the Marriot Hotel (800) 228-9290.

>PROGRAM: This is coming together quite well. We won't have any trouble
>filling in the time with excellent presentations. On Friday afternoon and
>evening, we will have registration, a briefing session, a living history
>presentation followed by a reception/mixer.
>On Saturday, we're pretty firmed up on a symposium-like presentation related
>to such things as military life and battlefield strategies in Anza's time.
>Also a presentation on Ute/Comanche cultures in Anza's time; In addition,
>we are going to allow some time (about 10 minutes each) for the presentation
>of papers preferably on the life of Anza as a military figure and/or related
>subjects. Finally, there will be a presentation about the battle sites,
the
>soldiers accompanying Anza on his Comanche expedition and a briefing about
>Sunday's tour. With regard to the Sunday tour, everyone is familiar with
>the general area where Anza and Cuerno Verde met in battle, but I have
reason
>to believe that there's a better than 50/50 chance that we will have more
>exact information by conference time. In addition, we already have more
>exact information concerning Anza's march and related activities between
>Colorado Springs and Pueblo, i.e., the Comanche campsite, the site of the
>first battle, etc.
>
>CALL FOR PAPERS: Presentation proposals will be due June 15, 2001.
>Topics related to any aspect of Anza's military life and/or his 1779
Comanche
>Expedition will be given extra weight. In his Comanche Expedition journal,
>for example, Anza says that he had articles of food to last 40 days. An
>interesting presentation would be one which would talk about this subject.
>Another subject could be one pertaining to the arms and munitions of war he
>talks about in the same journal.
>Proposals should include the following information:
>1. Title of the presentation and a brief but comprehensive outline and/or
>abstract.
>2. Short (40 words or less) summary for the program.
>3. List of Audio-visual requirements.
>4. Amount of time needed for presentation.
>5. Speaker's full name, address, telephone and fax numbers and e-mail
>address.
>6. Brief speaker biography (2 or 3 sentences).
>7. Send above info to Wilfred Martinez; 113 Fordham Cr.; Pueblo, CO;
>81005. I will then run the proposals by a committee.
>
>CONFERENCE FEE PAYMENT: Make $35 checks payable (ASAP) to ANZA WORLD
>CONFERENCE.
>
>NEW WEB SITE: One of our colleagues has graciously offered to set up a web
>site for us which will provide updated info about the conference. More
info
>will be forthcoming.
>
>EXISTING WEB SITE: http://anza.uoregon.edu This site includes Anza's
>journals for both the San Francisco and Comanche expeditions.
>
>OTHER CONSIDERATIONS:
>1. You are encouraged to make hotel reservations early because the State
>Fair will still be on in Pueblo and room occupancy will be higher than usual
>at that time.
>2. Please send me your registration fee as soon as possible. We need an
>accurate count of attendees to order catering services, buses, etc. My
>address is 113 Fordham Circle; Pueblo, CO 81005. An accurate account of
>income and expenditures will be kept. Make checks payable to Anza World
>Conference.
>3. In order to keep the fee structure within reason, our operating budget
>will be tight so if you want to make a contributioon above and beyond the
>registration fee, it will be appreciated. Or if you know of any
individual,
>group or organization that may want to contribute, go for it.
>4. You can help spread the word by sharing this info with other
interested
>parties. If you are a member or an officer of an organization whose
>membership might be interested, please distribute.
>5. If there are questions, disagreements, suggestions or whatever, do not
>hesitate to voice your opinion.
>6. If you need a table or space on Saturday for a display or to sell your
>wares, such as a book, let me know early.
