Two more hotels...
Hi all — The email I sent earlier today contained the venues for our activities only — the Oxnard Courtyard Marriott and the PACC. Thought I’d also send out the other two hotels that are under Region 11 contract. Some people are staying at other hotels. Four Points by Sheraton — 1050 Schooner Dr., Ventura. CA 93001 Residence Inn by Marriott Oxnard at River Ridge — 201 West Vineyard Ave., Oxnard, CA 93030 If you are staying in one of these hotels, please use your GPS or an online map site to determine the distance and estimated drive time to the PACC. Thanks, Debbie

Oxnard addresses
Hi all — Sorry, I should have included this in the contest information I sent out last month. Here’s where our activities will be taking place: Oxnard Courtyard Marriott — 600 E Esplanade Dr, Oxnard, CA 93036 (located in the back of the Topa Financial Plaza parking lot) Oxnard Performing Arts Center (commonly called PACC) — 800 Hobson Way, Oxnard, CA 93030 The distance between the two is about 3.5 miles, but with traffic and traffic lights, it will take approx. 10-15 minutes. See you soon! Debbie Curtis Convention Communications & Program
