Scripps
Birch Aquarium Reception and Dinner – Wednesday Evening
 Set
atop the bluffs overlooking La Jolla Cove, the setting for Scripps Birch
Aquarium can only be described as stunning.
Scripps extends its reputation as a world class marine science
institution to what is accurately described as one of the west coast’s
premier aquariums. AFS has
exclusive use of the facility on Wednesday evening – come enjoy
excellent cuisine and beverages while touring the aquarium’s displays.
All costs for this special event are included in your registration - so board a charter bus on Wednesday and head over to
Scripps!
Please
take advantage of the provided bus service for the 20 minute drive to La
Jolla. Buses will begin
departing from the Hyatt’s main entrance in front of the lobby at 5:30
pm. Continuous shuttle service to and from the site will be
available throughout the evening but plan to arrive early to enjoy passed
hors d’ oeuvres at sunset on the tidepool plaza.
This is a casual indoor / outdoor event – please dress
accordingly. To maximize
your enjoyment of the exhibits we have decided against having a
traditional banquet. Unique stations with delicious international and domestic
foods will be located throughout the facility.

buy some hard to find texts.
