Dalia...don't plan on anything for 1998 or 1999.  These dates have
already been booked.  The contract has been finalized for Richmond
Virginia for 1998 and other final arrangements are being made for Green
Bay Wisconsin in 1999.  At the present time we plan to go to Orlando
Florida in 2000.  The next Western site date will be 2001.  We are
looking at several locations including:

San Jose
Orange County (Southern California)
Phoenix
Salt Lake City
Oakland/San Francisco

All of the California sites are being investigated by interested members
of N.S.A. and this Photo 3-D Bulletin Board.  The officers AND board
members of N.S.A. are very appreciative of their help.  

We will look at any suggestions recommended by any member.  However, you
must keep in mind that we are now looking at 2001.  The info we had on
Vegas was formulated over the past few years.  The situation may have
changed since their original quotes were received.

If you want to continue to check out Vegas with a projeted year of 2001
let us know.  At this point, Larry Moor (N.S.A. President) and I have
the full approval of the board to locate future convention sites.

Good Luck finding us a nice place to consider for NSA 2001 (A space
odyssey?):)
