TusCon 36 November 12, 2009

1. TusCon 36 is scheduled for November 13-15, 2009 at the InnSuites Hotel in Tucson, AZ.

2. The room block at the hotel closes on October 12, 2009. Be sure to reserve your rooms early. Also be sure to ask for the "TusCon Science Fiction Convention" room block (and use the whole phrase) so you will get the Con rates, at least have a chance that the reservations person will find the room block correctly and so the Con gets credit for the room nights. Thanks!

4. We are pleased to announce that Liz Hanson will be our Fan Guest of Honor! Liz has been a supporter TusCon for many years, as well as being involved will all aspects of Fandom throughout Arizona.
