Meeting and Event Schedule

reflect the pride

of a management

team that has been

in place for many

years, and the

restaurant is a great

favorite of locals.Our premier rooms

are done in a Louis

XVI classical dcor

and offer large

marble baths with all the expected amenities. There is also a large

spa on site. (See www.Alvearpalace.com)

Everything is upside down in Argentina: Our summer is their

winter and vice-versa. The further south one travels, the colder

the weather; the further north, the warmer. Siestas and a vigorous

nightlife are part of a culture that seeks the most from life. Futbol

(soccer), food, fashion, music, cafes and politics are the passions

of the city. Buenos Aires is an enlightening experience and anenchanting change for the 2010 annual meeting.

ARGENTINAis an enormous land, 900 by 2,100 miles, theeighth largest country in our world. It is blessed by a legendary

landscape bathed by the mists of the Atlantic Ocean to the east

and crowned in the west by the snow-capped peaks of the Andes.

Between are the extensive rural cattle ranches (estancias) of the

Pampas and the glorious capital city of Buenos Aires, site of the

2010 annual meeting.

BUENOS AIRES is many things: culinary creativity, world-class beef and wines, the seductive tango danced on street

corners until the first light of dawn,

the widest street in the world, stately

architecture, colorful pedestrian

zones, gorgeous shops and elegant

afternoon teas.

Your hotel, the Alvear Palace, is in

a neighborhood of ornate embassies

and fine shops and is the pillar of

tradition in Buenos Aires. Its beaux-

arts style and gracious service
