We've got some good hotel/motel chains here in Matthews convenient to where we will be meeting. Marriott Courtyard, Country Suites, Hampton Inn probably your best bets. All of them are on NC 74. Let me know if those don't work and I'll find some more for you.
Hey Steve! Great seeing you the other day. Hopefully we'll have more opportunities to compare notes. Good luck with the Asheville Chapter. It sounds like you have some great contacts and real opportunities up there.
Welcome, Steve!
Looks like you hit the ground running when you joined the group. Thanks for getting involved so quickly. This site has great value in meeting and working with others interested in wildlife. I hope you enjoy being a part of it.
