Please join us in Green Bay for the 4th Biennial Lake 4THLake Michigan: 
State of the Lake Conference and the 5th Annual Great Lakes Beach 
Association Meeting.  This is the second time the two groups have met 
jointly and promises to be another very successful meeting.  The theme for 
this year's conference is Restoring Lake Michigan and Green Bay - Assessing 
What is Possible from Here.  The conference brings together scientists, 
resource managers, planners, policy makers, officials, students, and 
citizens working to improve and protect Lake Michigan/Green Bay ecosystems 
and all Great Lakes beaches.



This is the first call for papers; our apologies for cross-postings.  All 
interested persons are invited to submit abstracts for consideration. Both 
oral and poster presentations will require an abstract. Conference session 
topics and abstract submittal instructions may be found in the attached 
document and on the conference web site, http://www.aqua.wisc.edu/solm/



All abstracts must be received by July 22, 2005.  Authors will be notified 
of acceptance/rejection by August 15, 2005.  Authors of contributed papers 
and posters will be expected to cover all of their travel costs, as well as 
the conference registration fees.



The conference registration fee of $75 for two days ($50 for students) 
includes most meals, breaks and an evening poster reception.  Sponsorships 
are being sought to further reduce student registration fees.  The 
conference will be held at the new KI Convention Center adjacent to the Fox 
River in downtown Green Bay.  The Center is connected to the Regency Suites 
(Green Bay's only all-suite hotel) and across the street from the Holiday 
Inn City Centre Hotel.  Both hotels are offering exceptional room rates of 
$62/night for government or university employees.  (The conference rate at 
the Regency Suites will be $92 for non-government attendees).
