Thank you for submitting your list of attendees and agenda items. The Outdoor Recreation Workshop will be held in
Roseburg this year at the Loft at Seven Springs Event Center, which is approximately 20 minutes from Roseburg. A
map will be forwarded to all districts by October l, 2004.
The workshop will begin on Monday, October 18, at 1:00 pm and end on October 21, at 5:00 pm.
A block of rooms has been reserved under the name “Bureau of Land Management” at the Holiday Inn Express in
Roseburg. Please call 541-673-7517 to make your room reservations no later than October 1, 2004.
A draft agenda is attached. This year we are going to add a new agenda topic. Each district will have a 15 minute
block of time designated for them to share or discuss a project or topic that can benefit the group. This will be
informal but, hopefully, beneficial to all.
Thanks for all the great topics and I hope we have included all of your ideas. Please call Margaret Wolf at 503-808­
