AWA ANNUAL CONFERENCE RIT CONFERENCE CENTER ROCHESTER, NY   AUGUST 20-23, 2008 THEME:  International Radio

WELCOME BACK! At the 47th annual conference, collectors and history enthusiasts will convene, exchange equipment, and learn more about the development of radio and electronics. If you have never been to the yearly "reunion," why not give it a try? Rochester (Henrietta) is just north of upstate New York's beautiful Finger Lakes Region, easily reached by car or plane. The site is 26 easy miles from the AWA Museum at Bloomfield.     Advance registration is encouraged to facilitate preassembly of registration materials and preassignment of flea market spaces. Your materials for advance registration will be included in the July issue of The Journal. There will be unlimited registration at the door.     The Conference site is The Rochester Institute of Technology Conference Center. Formerly the Thruway Marriott Hotel, this is the same facility where we've been running the Conference for many years. It offers special nightly rates of $89.00 for a single or double. For info or reservations, call (585) 359-1800. The Conference Center has restaurant facilities, and other lodging and eating places are nearby.     The hotel is reached from Exit 46 of the New York State Thruway (I-90): take I-390 north to NY 253 west, to NY 15 south. For visitors arriving by air, the location is about seven miles or 15 minutes from the airport. There is shuttle service, 6 a.m.-11 p.m. (specify the RIT Conference Center). If you take a cab, make sure the driver understands that you are NOT going to the RIT campus, but rather to the RIT Conference Center.       Conference Chairperson       Roy Wildermuth   AWA ELECTRONIC COMMUNICATIONS MUSEUM Village Green, Bloomfield, NY Refer to map at left.
