Gala Reminder

There’s no party like a PACRAO party, and this year’s promises to be epic. Join us Tuesday night for Peace, Love, and PACRAO, inspired by the free-spirited 1960s. After a full day of sessions, let's come together to bloom into the evening with good vibes, great food, and even better company. Dust off your bell bottoms, tie-dye shirts, and fringe vests and get ready to boogie the night away! It's going to be a far-out time you won't want to miss. Can’t find your macrame vest? We’ve got you. There will be some groovy accessories on the tables to complete any look so feel free to come as you are! Food provided. No host bar.

 

General Logistics 

  • Remember, the conference hotel is the Davenport Grand, next to the Spokane Convention Center. Not the “Davenport Hotel,” “Davenport Tower,” “The Louie: A Davenport Hotel,” or “The Davenport Not-So-Grand-But-Still-Quite-Nice.” (Ok – that last one is made up.)
  • All conference activities, including registration, will take place in the Spokane Convention Center across from the hotel (which is, say it with me, the Davenport Grand).
  • There will be voting at the conference, which requires member log-in. Now is a good time to ensure at least one member from your institution who is attending the conference remembers their log-in credentials.

 

Things to bring 

  • Swag from your institution for the famous PACRAO swag raffle!
  • Non-perishable donation items for the PACRAO Gives Back goods drive supporting Partners INW. Visit our PACRAO Gives Back page for the list of most needed items that are easy to travel with. A donation bin will be available at the conference to collect non-perishables. Suitcase already full? Don’t worry – you can still support our PACRAO Gives Back partner financially through the link above.
  • A warm coat – Spokane can get chilly, and while you can get from the hotel to the conference center through an enclosed walkway, you know you’ll want to get out and explore Spokane.

 

See you soon,

Tina
