President's Invitation

Greetings Fellow Horticulturists,
I want to take this opportunity to personally invite you to join us at the 2010 American Society for Horticultural Science Annual Conference, to be held at the lovely Desert Springs JW Marriott Resort and Spa, located in Palm Desert, California. The date of the Annual Conference is August 2-5, 2010.
I understand that The Desert Springs Resort recently completed some fabulous renovation that include an impressive new porte-cochere that is the gateway to hotel's new lobby, complete with smooth-flowing guest registration, a magnificent new 60-foot bar with a backdrop of cascading water, huge new Starbucks, and the desert's coolest new sushi bar. From the hotel’s impressive lobby you can enjoy the breathtaking views of the mountains. The expansive Spa Desert Springs exudes luxury. It is a lush exotic oasis amid pristine desert, where you can enjoy two 18-hole golf courses, spa, 4 signature restaurants, a high-energy nightclub, sparkling pools, shopping and more.
Having the opportunity to hold our Annual Meeting in such a magnificent setting is a wonderful opportunity to fulfill my philosophy on planning meetings such that they have a “delicate blend of educational opportunities and entertainment”. I believe we are on the road to having a great meeting in wonderful location!
So take out your pencils, pens, magic markers or blackberries or whatever else and make sure to mark those dates down and plan on joining us in beautiful California.
See you there.
