WELCOME TO THE EMERALD CITY

The Puget Sound Gesneriad Society would like to welcome you to the Pacific Northwest by inviting you to Seattle to attend the 2012 Gesneriad Society Convention, which will be held from July 2 to July 7 at the Renaissance Hotel. Known for being a bustling urban center that maintains a relaxed and friendly atmosphere, Seattle's good-natured spirit makes visitors feel warm and welcome.

Our hotel is located in the Pioneer Square section just minutes from the heart of downtown. Attendees will be able to walk to world-class shopping, dining, and attractions such as Pike Place Market, the Seattle Art Museum, and the architecturally stunning Seattle Public Library.

This is a green place and also a tree-hugging place. Seattle is known as the Emerald City, from which we took our convention theme: Gesneriads in the Emerald City. The Emerald City is also the focus of our convention show schedule, which is based on perhaps one of the most beloved of all Hollywood musicals, "The Wizard of Oz."

Welcome … and please don't spend all your time inside the hotel. Seattle is also a good place to see airplanes, buy fish and produce, see the future of computers, buy a book, and have the best-tasting cup of coffee ever, on a rainy morning. Sunshine? That's the bright light in the sky that you might see sometime after July 4. Welcome to the Great Northwest!

Bob Clark, Local Convention Chair
