This meeting is described as one which is 'for our members by our members.' In other words, all programs are presented at the hotel with no side trips planned. This is not to say there isn't a large amount of other things to see and do in the Albany area! Plan on spending a few extra days (using the same discounted room rate at the Holiday Inn) to do some more touring. This is same hotel in which previous Albany meetings have been held
