Dear IAMSE Members,

Just a quick reminder that if you have not yet made your hotel reservations for the upcoming meeting in Leiden please do so soon! After May 1st the IAMSE rates will no longer be offered. Rooms will still be available, but at a higher cost.

As of today we have well over 200 individuals registered from 27 countries!

Also, today I purchased my airline tickets for 1/2 of the price it was listed for in January ... more good news.

I am looking forward to seeing you in Leiden in just a few short weeks.

Julie K. Hewett, CMP
IAMSE Association Manager

Would you like to learn Dutch?

While communicating in the Netherlands is very easy as English is commonly spoken, you may want to familiarize yourself with the Dutch language.

I have recently found this website to be very helpful. There are 55 podcasts available for download, each between 2-5 minutes in length. Each podcast also contains a bit of information about the country, the customs and culture as well.

Enjoy!
