SCHEDULE

The workshop begins at 2:00 pm on Sunday, September 23. For those attending the annual PSA conference in San Francisco, this gives you plenty of time to arrive on time. The meeting place is the lobby at the Yosemite View Lodge in El Portal (see "Recommended Lodging" above). We will carpool from location to location throughout the day. We will be starting early each day for sunrise and ending late for sunset, making time for meals in between. The workshop ends at noon on Wednesday, September 26.

PSA INTERNATIONAL CONFERENCE
