We have ample parking onsite.  Please feel free to park in any open (non-restricted) space.  No permit is required.

Meals

A continental breakfast will be served both days, and coffee will be available in the meeting room all day. There are also soft drink and snack vending machines in the break room adjacent to the meeting room. There are no dining facilities onsite, so we will order for on-site lunch on Monday and Tuesday.

We will plan for a group dinner for Monday evening at:
Josephine's Modern American Bistro.
A head count will be needed by noon on Monday.

Flagstaff Weather

We think you will be pleased with the weather.  Daytime temperatures in July are typically in the 80s with lows in the 50s-60s.  Humidity is usually quite low, but there may be some showers.  You will probably want to bring a sweater.  Umbrellas are optional.  You can check the weather for yourself at http://nimbo.wrh.noaa.gov/Flagstaff/.  Note that we are typically experiencing drought conditions and fire danger.  For more information on fire closures see Coconino National Forest fire restrictions or http://www.azfireinfo.com.
