CULTURE, WEATHER, EVENTS AND SUCH
Albuquerque combines a unique blend of multi-culturalism, natural beauty, profound historic attractions, spectacular climate, museums, galleries and shopping to create a distinct and unforgettable visit for every kind of guest. The city offers an exciting array of activities for all ages and interests, including exploring Historic Old Town, mountain biking and hiking, golf on any of many fine courses, hot air ballooning, a tour of one of Albuquerque’s vineyards, or browsing museums and galleries. The city also offers a variety of dining options from quaint and casual atmosphere to elegant ambiance. See www.abqcvb.org/ for information on the variety of activities available and an August schedule of events. Albuquerque is the "high desert" with an elevation of 5,500 feet, and has four distinct seasons, low humidity and more than 310 days of sunshine a year. The average temperature in August is 76 degrees, but the Southwest climate means that it may reach into the 90s during the day. Dress for the sessions will be business casual, meaning collared shirts and slacks for men but no ties. Again, you may register for the Conference on-line at www.taxadmin.org/tech/. FTA appreciates your interest and welcomes any suggestions you may have for the Conference. Sincerely, Harley T. Duncan |
