Our Conference Planning Team has developed a comprehensive list of 48-restaurants as
suggested venues to pick for our social dinner. While our Community of Practice tends to always live life with a little more flair (read as style!)...we are always looking for more options/suggestions that include a wonderful place to dine, followed by easy access to a night on the town.
If
there are specific options you would like
me to research, please do not hesitate to let me know. We have our
on-site
meeting scheduled for July 13-17 and I will be happy to assist any way
I can.

That's all I have for now...please do not hesitate to reply back to this post or email me at dirk.rodricks@uvm.edu if you have any specific questions.
Happy Summer!
