Friday Morning General Session In this fast-paced portrayal of the rough-edged, larger-than-life personality of Colorado’s own Unsinkable Molly Brown, the true-to-life, heroine of the Titanic emerges. “When Barbara sweeps onto the scene, she is Molly Brown, in a simple setting that defines the character and the scene. Convention planners, educators, and club program chairpersons are practically standing in line to book the one-woman shows Barbara Daubenspeck developed.” Some helpful hints while in Colorado • Denver is truly a mile-high city and so some of you will feel the altitude. If you drink a lot of water during your time here, you’ll feel much better. • Because we are closer to the sun, sunscreen is advised when you are out and about. A hat and sunglasses wouldn’t hurt either. • Plan to dress comfortably during the tours and bring along a light jacket if you will be out in the evening. • The retirees tour, while planned for our retirees, is open to others who are attending the conference. You’ll enjoy the Stanley Hotel and Estes Park so you are welcome to join in on this tour. • Come ready to experience the beauty and wonders of Colorado. You’ll be happy you did. Climate Denver, the capital of Colorado, is situated just east of the Rocky Mountains’ Front Range and looms 5,280 feet above sea level. Appropriately dubbed the “Mile High City,” Denver was originally settled during the gold rush of 1859. Colorado enjoys more than 300 days of annual sunshine. Denver’s weather is warm in July. Looking back at July of 2006 and 2007, the average daytime temperature was 91 degrees; then cooling down to an average 62 degrees at night. During the summer months, the humidity is very low. A light jacket in the evening if you are going to the mountains is all you will need. Hotel Omni Interlocken Resort is situated at the base of the Rocky Mountains, between Denver and Boulder within the Interlocken Business Park. The Resort is surrounded by the breathtaking views of Boulder’s famous Flatirons, Longs Peak, the Denver and Boulder Valleys and the snow-capped Continental Divide. Adjacent to the hotel is FlatIron Crossing, a prestigious shopping and entertainment complex with more than 175 diverse shops and services. FlatIron Crossing is located on the site of a coalmine Monarch Mine #2. There was an explosion at the mine on January 20, 1936, at 6:30 a.m. closing the mine for good. Eight men died in the explosion, only seven of the bodies were recovered. One man is still entombed at this location. There is a memorial to these men northwest of the shopping center. All room reservations should be made directly with the hotel. NAEOP group rates are valid for booking from July 6-11, 2008. If you wish to extend your stay outside of these dates, the hotel will honor the group rate to NAEOP attendees up to three days pre and post the official conference dates subject to availability. In-room amenities include: refreshment center, bathroom scale, hair dryer, plush terry robes in all guest room, iron and ironing boards, in-room safe, and complimentary USA Today and local newspaper. Hospitality Suite The hospitality room will be located in the lobby of the hotel. The room will be open Sunday through Thursday with extended hours for you to enjoy networking with friends from around the country. A different state will host the room daily adding a different flavor each day. So join us in the hospitably room while we bridge the continental divide. |
