Visiting UMass on February 13, 2002
signing contract - site selection

Chen-yuan, in the lobby of UMass Campus Center informing Conference Service that we have arrived on time and are ready for meeting. 

He is also checking on Tom and Mei-Fun's arrival.

Meeting was held in the 8th floor conference room of Campus Center .

UMass: Judie & Donna

TACEC: CY, Tom, Mei, Nan-Jae, and Vincent

 

This is Judith Guyette of UMass Conference Service.

She is little "sensitive" about picture taking.

Donna, Judie's assistant, and Nan-Jae were also there.
Vincent was at the other end of the table.

Tom took this picture with his digi Kodak.

Range of service and security issues were discussed.
Judie said "You can also pick the deluxe menu. And we offer Sushi on Fridays!."

It will be great if sushi and miso soup are served during the conference.

All the preliminary issues have been squared away.

Contract signed!

So, CY hands in the deposit check, a handsome amount.

Mission accomplished!

We are happy!

 

And so is Judie!
Donna then drove us to visit the Fine Art Center.

The building in the background is the Campus Center where most of the conference events will be held. There are also a good number of hotel rooms available in the Center.

We were on the stage inspecting the Concert Hall where Classical Concert and Taiwan Night will be held.

Mei pays extra attention to the facility issues.

Outside the Concert Hall in the new covered hallway which is air conditioned in summer.
Donna (Judie's assistant) and the nice school Van!

With the logo on the car, she can park anywhere she wants on UMass campus. 

Wish TACEC staff could have that privilege arranged during the conference.

We had a late lunch in the BlueWall cafeteria which is located on the ground floor of the Campus Center.  TACEC on-site registration area will be set up just outside of BlueWall.

 

We thank to Judie. This lunch is on her!

Pictures were taken and arranged by Vincent Tzeng   2/14/2002
