HES list members, I write to invite any of you in the DC area, or attending the Southern Economic Association meetings later this month, to join the Society for the Development of Austrian Econoimcs for our annual dinner meeting and presidential address. We will gather in the Farragut Room at the Grand Hyatt in Washington DC on Saturday evening November 19, 2005. The program is as follows: Cash Bar 6:30 – 7:15 Dinner 7:15 After some very brief opening remarks, we will proceed to dinner. During dessert we will begin the formal program, which includes the usual update on the Society, the presentation of the Smith Prizes, the recognition of the Lavoie Prize winners, and our annual presidential address, given this year by Roger Koppl (and tentatively titled "Austrian Economics at the Cutting Edge"). Cost for dinner this year is $70 (half-price for graduate students). Joe and Helen Salerno went to amazing lengths to keep the cost down, but given that this is the Hyatt and that it is DC, this is the best we can do. Thanks once again to the generosity of Rob Bradley, this price does include wine. You will have a choice of entree: Salmon Beef Sirloin Vegetarian Dish Dinner will include soup, salad, entrée and dessert. So that we can confirm with the Hyatt, we need to know if you will be attending and if so which entree you would prefer by Sunday November 6th. Please reply to me privately. Finally, feel free to forward this announcement on to colleagues who might be interested, especially those in the DC area. We'd love to have a big turnout for this event. More information on the society can be found at: [1]http://it.stlawu.edu/sdae If you have any questions, drop me an email and I'll do my best to answer them. Also let us know if you have any other dietary issues so that we can try to accommodate them. We hope to see you in DC! Steven Horwitz
