25th
SD
Convention Directions
The
Sign-in
and
credentialing will begin at 8:30AM and I expect to call the convention
to order
for business at 2PM Saturday March 29th.
Both delegates and alternates will sign in
and will receive credentials. So if you don't want to stand in a
2,000
person line, come early and encourage your friends to do the same.
Know
your
precinct number, and / or bring your voter registration card. Sign
in is by precinct number, and it will not be practical to research your
precinct based on your name.
If
you have
Internet access, you can bring the location up on Mapquest. It is between Broadway and Navarro
streets, south of
The
auditorium has no parking garage. It was built before most people
had
cars. So leave extra time to park.
Parking is available in the neighboring blocks, for instance at
the 1st
Baptist church to the NE, and a couple of blocks to the west in the
city
parking garage, but it's definitely not free. Delegates
should
consider both car pooling and using the
bus.
Bus
routes 3
and 4 coming south on San Pedro pass two blocks to the west on St.
Mary’s
street at
Bus
routes 9,
10, and 14 come down Broadway and it would be convenient to use the
stop at
Broadway and 4th.
For
more bus information
see the trip planner and interactive map on www.viainfo.net.
I
don't yet
have details on the food vendors. Several food vendors have
contracts
with the city, so we aren't free to choose our own. The Party
office is
handling this. Diabetics should
bring something.
Delegates
to
SD25 will be seated on the main floor.
We will have reserved seating marked by precinct.
This will enable the precinct delegations and
the paired precincts to find each other, which is absolutely necessary
to
conduct the business of the convention.
Most delegates will be in the center, and alternates will sit on the sides or in
the balcony.
