Optional Sunday Afternoon Excursions
IAFFE conference organizers have planned three Sunday afternoon excursions for anyone interested. We are not using a tour company (to keep costs low). However, to participate you MUST reserve a spot by June 19 and, at the conference, you must pay cash (US dollars) to reserve your spot. (We will let you know how to pay, don’t worry!)
