It’s now less than two months away from the 21st Arizona Rural Transportation Summit, and our anticipation continues to build as the program comes together. While ‘Rural Transportation – Driven By Trade’ is this year’s Summit theme, the program will feature three concurrent session tracks:Technical, Trade and Transit. So regardless of your role in rural transportation, there is guaranteed to be something of interest just for you. And don’t worry if you didn’t get your hotel reservations before our group room block at the Casino Del Sol sold out – we have four overflow hotels for you to choose from and you can still register for the Summit at the very affordable early bird rate of $275 until September 16th! We hope you will break away from your weekly work routine and join us for three days of fun mixed with learning, networking, and sharing ideas, experiences and best practices, October 16th, 17th and 18th at the fabulous Casino Del Sol resort in Tucson.

Wednesday Reception will feature a
performance by Tucson's Mariachi Sol Azteca
and photo booth! |
|
|

In 2001, local high school students had a vision to create a respectable ensemble of mariachi musicians that would represent their culture and enrich the spirit of mariachi music. It is through strategic efforts of director Angel Guzman and committed members that turned this vision into a reality. Over the years, the ensemble has grown to 13 musicians that consist of violins, trumpets, guitars, a vihuela, a guitarron and a harp. |
