Orleans, the Bourbon Orleans Hotel will honor the room rates for three days 
prior and three days after the meeting.  Special on-site parking rates for 
LSH attendees are available as well as public parking  around Jackson 
Square.  For reservations call 1-504-523-2222 or 1-866-513-9744 and mention

to our fellow technologists and pathologists from surrounding states.  We 
encourage everyone to attend in order to build our networking potential, 
earn those valuable CEU's and enjoy the beautiful city of New Orleans.  
     We have a variety of topics presented by experienced speakers that
