   DEAF WOMEN UNITED 

Transportation--The Red Lion has a shuttle bus service from approximately 6am to 10pm daily, however, you may want to call the hotel to reserve a shuttle and make sure you have transportation to the airport. With advance notice, they may accommodate you, even if is outside of their normal shuttle hours. The best way to get your shuttle is when you arrive-text them at: 503-764-6950. The pick up is outside the baggage claim area at island #3 hotel shuttles. However, if you get a cab and since the hotel is about 10 minutes from the airport, the cab ride should be relatively inexpensive.

Hotel Roommates--DWU has set up a message forum for those of you who are looking for roommates. Go to:http://dwuconferenceroommates.messageforums.net/

And at the top of the forum, click register.  Once you register, you can access the forum to post messages asking for roommates.  DWU and DWOW are not responsible for any arrangements made for roommates during the conference. 

Clothing--Remember that Oregon weather can be unpredictable. Expect between 75-80 degree weather, but bring a light jacket and a pair of slacks for the evenings.
