March 1996 Chicago, IL MPI Meeting

The next meeting will be at the O'Hare Hilton on March 6-8. You should make your reservations now. A block of rooms has been reserved, which will be held until February 21, so please make your reservations with the Hotel before then. The phone number for the hotel is (312) 686-8000 (FAX (312) 601-2876). Mention the *MPI Forum* to get the special rate, which is $130.00 + tax per night. We will charge the usual $75 registration to take care of the meeting room, lunch on Thursday, and coffee, etc. The meeting will start at 1:30 on Wednesday to allow people to fly in that morning, and end at noon on Friday.

Please let me know as soon as possible whether you are planning to come or not. I need a firm number a few days before the meeting.

If you have any questions, don't hesitate to send me mail at lusk@mcs.anl.gov or call me at (708) 252-7852.

Unless you read the above too quickly, you will have noticed that the room rate just jumped by about $40. The O'Hare Hilton is no longer willing to allow the government rate during the week. The above rate *is* still lower than the default of $160, and you need to mention the MPI Forum to get it.
