The 2010 traveler education micro-site may be found at www.TaosSacredPlaces.com (FYI, as content continues to come in, this site will change somewhat; it obviously directly connects with the Taos Vacation Guide site that also has thematic content, and will continue to grow/shift as submissions are received for the calendars and other elements).

If you’re still having trouble figuring out exactly how to participate, or who to possibly partner with, make contact and we’ll assist -- Joan Griffin, jgriffin@griffinassoc.com, Cathy Connelly, cconnelly@taosgov.com.  We will also be attending all three meetings noted above, and we’re happy to chat before and after any of these sessions, or to make an appointment for a substantive discussion in the next couple of weeks should you need to do so.
