2nd Quarterly Conference Information

June 8-10, 2011
Natchez, MS

Dear Fellow LATA Members & Guests:

The Concordia Parish Revenue Department, a division of the Concordia Parish School Board, is extremely grateful to have been given the opportunity to host the LATA Second Quarterly Meeting for 2011. The meeting will actually be held in Vidalia’s sister city, historic Natchez, Mississippi. The conference will be June 8 – 10, 2011, at the EOLA Hotel located at 110 North Pearl Street.

We have been able to obtain rates of $99.90 per room (extra person must add $10.00). While this may sound like an odd amount, it really isn’t, as it includes everything, including all applicable taxes and a hot breakfast each morning. Natchez is a tourist town and the EOLA is located in the center of almost everything. Our block will be held until May 20, 2011, but please do not wait until the last minute. While there are other hotels within walking distance, none maintains the classic style and southern charm of the EOLA. Reservations may be made by calling 601-445-6000 or 866-445-EOLA, be sure to inform them that you are attending the LATA Conference.

Our hospitality room will be located in the Natchez Guest House, an antebellum bed & breakfast, which is adjacent to the hotel. It will also be the location of a small reception for those arriving on Tuesday evening. So, if possible please come early and experience a glimpse in how the rich and famous lived pre-civil war.

Attached you will find registration forms for the conference and for the golf tourney. Early registration fees are set at $170 for members, $180 for non members and should be received prior to May 27, 2011. Due to the dates of the Legislative Session, our agenda is not yet finalized, but it will be posted just as soon as possible.

The quarterly golf scramble will be held at Beau Pre Country Club on Wednesday morning @ 8:00 a.m. The course is located approximately 4 miles south of town on the Baton Rouge Highway ( US Hwy 61 South). Green fees, which are all inclusive have been set @ $65.00.

While certainly not expected, we would welcome any assistance in the form of cash contributions or event sponsorships, goody bag items and/or golf tourney prizes.

If you are a history buff or if you have never visited the Natchez/Vidalia area, please put us on your calendar, you will not be disappointed.

Y’all come!
