Dear Tim,
Dear Tim,
Thank you for contacting us about the CASSP (California Archaeological Site Stewardship Program) workshop on September 20-21. We are pleased to confirm your registration.
We will begin at 9:00 on both days, and we'll end at 4:30 on Saturday and at 2:30 on Sunday. Lunch (sandwiches and salads) will be provided on both days, and we'll take a group photo before we leave on Sunday. The San Luis Obispo County Archaeological Society (SLOCAS) lab is located near Cuesta College and El Chorro Regional Park, on Cabrillo Hwy (Hwy 1). We would like to plan a pot-luck supper on Saturday at El Chorro Park. We'll send more information about the pot-luck and detailed directions to the lab in another e-mail.
Please contact us if you have any questions. Thank you for supporting site stewardship. We look forward to seeing you in September.
Sincerely,
Beth and Chris Padon

*****6/12/2014 UPDATE! ADVANCED WORKSHOP SATURDAY 9/20 - SUNDAY 9/21/2014 IN SLO: The last CASSP workshop of this fiscal year will be an advanced training on artifact identification and description, held on Sat. Sept. 20 - Sunday Sept. 21, 2014 at the San Luis Obispo County Archaeological Society (SLOCAS). The host agency is the BLM Bakersfield Field Office. I have signed up to attend this advanced workshop - hope you can join me.
CASSP advanced workshops are hands-on, learning-by-doing activities. At this workshop, participants will help catalog items from the SLOCAS collections, some of which came from the Carrizo Plain before parts of that area became BLM lands. SLOCAS Board chairman Luther Bertrando, SLOCAS curator Christina Macdonald, BLM archeologist Tamara Whitley, and CASSP coordinators Beth and Chris Padon will provide this training.
There is no fee for this workshop. Lunch will be provided on both Saturday and Sunday. The workshop is limited to 25, and advanced registration is required (contact Beth or Chris at bpadon@discoveryworks.com or 562-427-3474). When you register, please let us know if you are interested in camping at the nearby El Chorro Regional Park of San Luis Obispo County.
PREVIOUSLY SCHEDULED REGULAR WORKSHOPS: Before the advanced workshop in September, four regular CASSP workshops will be held:
- June 21-22 at Tahoma (Lake Tahoe), for the Sierra District of California State Parks.
- June 28-29 at Placerville for the Eldorado National Forest.
