The First Message From Chairs Of 2006 Annual CASA Meeting In Chicago |
Dear CASA Members,
As a host, we welcome you to come to Chicago and go to the ASA annual
meeting and our CASA annual meeting in the middle of Oct 2006. This is the first message regarding our 2006 Annual CASA Meeting in Chicago.
There are a list of things we
would like to message out.
First of all, our meeting will be hold in the downtown Chicago in the evening of Sunday, Oct 15, 2006. We still have a lot of
details to work on and will send out as soon as all the issues
being taken care of.
Meanwhile, please put this event on your schedule and save the
date. We are looking for up to 150 people here. You are
encouraged to pass this message to all Chinese American
Anesthesiologists around you and Chinese speaking anesthesiologists around the world. You are
also encouraged to contact Dr. Ge Li via email at
gli3@hotmail.com for the reservations due to
the limited seats.
Secondly, we suggest you stay in the downtown area if you can
for a variety of reasons including safety, convenience,
shopping, dinning, entertainment, and so on. You can check
those hotels where ASA has deals with as the attachment file shows or look at the yahoo
map at, where you can find out the hotels
around the
downtown area. The transportation between hotels and McCormick
Center, where is the ASA meeting will be hold, will be
provided by ASA. A lot of people booked their hotels around
that area in the past and took the advantage of ASA
transportation service. Certainly, it can be done again on
your own desire since the middle of Oct in Chicago is just
about right weather wise and walking a block or two would not
be a problem. A couple of hotels, we recommend because they
are inexpensive but reasonable quality, short walking distance
to ASA hotels, and people experienced, include Fairfield Inn &
Suites by Marriott, Holiday Inn Chicago-City Centre, Radisson
Hotel & Suites Chicago, Cass Hotel, Club Quarters, Wacker at
Michigan (75 E Wacker Dr, Phone:312-357-6400,small room, one
bed per room). Dr. Hu personally had a great experience with
Residence Inn by Marriott somewhere else with a big family but
he does not know about the one in Downtown Chicago. Let us
know if you have any questions about your accommodation.
We do have some ideas about the places for fun including
dinner cruise, restaurants, Millennium Park, museums, and
something about our Chinatown here, etc. We are working on
those details and will give to you shortly.
You are welcome to ask questions from now on. We will do our
best to provide you useful information.
Looking forward to having the second message soon.
Sincerely
Ling Qun Hu, MD and Ge Li, MD, PhD
Chairs of 2006 Annual CASA Meeting in Chicago
