Hi
Alicia!

The info you describe
below is incorrect......Mickey Garcia was a speaker two years ago at this
conference and that is when Mimi Lozano received her award.  Mickey will
not be a speaker this year.....in fact, Mickey and I will be in Salt Lake City
doing research in September.....  Hopefully, next year we will make it for
the conference.  I do know one thing, you have to make reservations WAY
AHEAD in order to get a room, especially if you want to stay at the hotel right
next to the FHC library, the Best Western Plaza. 

Hey.....I just had a
thought.!!!....Why don't we (Ranchos members and any other interested parties)
 think about going to Salt Lake City NEXT YEAR for the conference? 
When Mickey and I went two years ago it was great!  Our friend, Ruth Gomez
Schirmacher, the Librarian and Latin American Consultant in the International
Reference Dept., was our contact and made the speaker arrangements with Mickey
that year.....I went along and carried Mickey's luggage!  :-)  
If we plan a year ahead it could certainly be worked out.  I know of two
hotels nearby and have a good rapport with the people there.  Of course,
everyone would have to make their own reservations, etc. but we could all be
there at the same time and do a lot of good net - working!  We met some
great folks when we were there!    Joseph.....what do you
think?

Jonathan,

I went on-line to see what this conference was about
and it looks like it's open to the general public and it appears that one of the
members of Ranchos will be a speaker, Mickey Garcia if I'm not
mistaken.

I am considering attending this conference along with
my sister in October. Thanks for this very valuable information. The only
disadvantage to most is that most of the conference will be in spanish but what
a great opportunity to meet up with hispanic historians and genealogists. Mimo
Lozano will be a recipient of one of the awards so this is also an opportunity
to meet her. If you want more information here's the URL to the website.
