Proposals are due no later than Thursday, February 7, 2008.

Lodging:
     Three motels will appear as you climb the hill that is the approach to downtown Dahlonega.  One of them is the Holiday Inn Express, 835 South Chestatee Street (U. S. Route 19 and Georgia Route 60 North), (706) 867-7777.  The rate on Thursday is $75.50 plus tax and on Friday is $95.50 plus tax for double occupancy.  Add $10 for quadruple occupancy.  Although the motel rarely fills up in early March, an unexpected special event could create demand for rooms, so we recommend that you make a reservation as soon as your plans are well-defined.  Even if you make a reservation and then change your mind, you may cancel reservations without penalty until 4 p.m. on the scheduled day of arrival.

Directions:
     -- To NGCSU's Health and Natural Sciences Building:  Take Georgia Route 400 until it ends in Lumpkin County.  Turn left to U. S. Route 19 and Georgia Route 60 North.  At the first traffic light in the City of Dahlonega, turn left; now you are on Georgia Route 9 South, also known as Morrison Moore Parkway.  At the next traffic light, turn right; now you are on Business Route 9 North, also known as West Main Street.  At the next traffic light, turn left; this is Sunset Drive.  See parking information below.
     -- To the Dahlonega Woman's Club Community House:  Take Georgia Route 400 until it ends in Lumpkin County.  Turn left to U. S. Route 19 and Georgia Route 60 North.  When you come to the first traffic light in the City of Dahlonega, go straight; now you are on Business Route 19 and 60 North.  Quickly, you will arrive at Dahlonega Square, and bear right into the roundabout (rotary), in the center of which is the old county courthouse (now the Gold Museum).  (Note:  If you are coming from NGCSU's Health and Natural Sciences Building, turn left onto West Main Street, which will take you to Dahlonega Square.  Enter the roundabout (rotary), and use the following directions.)  Immediately after you pass the old courthouse, turn left (but use the right-hand lane so that you enter North Park Street rather than reentering the roundabout (rotary)).  After driving for two blocks, you will reach Hawkins Street.  You will have just passed the St. Luke Catholic Church, but ahead on your left is the Community House (a building whose exterior is stone).  Find a parking space along one of the streets.

Parking:
     Download the parking permit (no longer available), print it out, and place it on your dashboard on the driver's side.  It allows you to park in a student parking space in a "BLACK" parking zone on Sunset Drive.  Suggestion:  Pass by the first "BLACK" parking lot on Sunset Drive; there are two "BLACK" lots closer to the Health and Natural Sciences Building further up the hill.
