Dear GLOBE Workshop Participants,

If you need a room at Biosphere 2, you only have until the
end of this week 3/21 to make reservations under our block
of rooms. Note that the Friday overnights are strictly
optional (but also look at he Agenda on the web, below).

There have been some adjustments to food costs as follows:

All (4) Continental Breakfasts, lunches, breaks	$60
   Dinner tickets, each				$15

So the standard daytime plan plus 2 dinners is $90. This is
being done to accomodate teachers who overnight only one 
Friday and other guests.  Please bring a check with you on April 11,
or we can add this to your room if you are staying.  These prices are
only good for group
(catered) meals.  We strongly encourage you to eat with the
group, particularly if you are staying overnight, and we
welcome your guests to join us. Please let Veronica Gillen know by
3/21 what meals you want and if you have a guest who will be
eatting with us (520-896-6204).

This training group has a homepage started at:
http://www.hwr.arizona.edu/globe/alt/franchise.html

TUSD has accepted this training for 2 units of Salary Increment
Credit. I will collect checks made out to EEF (educational
enrichment foundation) for $20 at registration. You must take
two "Personal Days" and bring a copy of your "Absence Form"
signed by your principal (if that is SOP).

Biosphere 2 will send out reservation guarantees soon. Elisabeth
Roberts is back in charge of K-12 educational development. She may
be reached at eroberts@bio2.edu, 520-896-6392.
