2009 WPA Breakfast at CCCC

The Executive Board of the WPA invites you to attend the annual WPA Breakfast at CCCC, to be held this year at the Hyatt Regency Embarcadero, San Francisco, 5 Embarcadero Center. Plan on a 15-minute walk or a short cab ride from the conference hotel.

Mark your calendar now for Thursday, March 12, 2009, 6:30 - 8:00 a.m. (doors open at 6 a.m.)

As always, the event will include a short program and adjourn in time for everyone to attend the Opening Session of the CCCC convention. More important, WPAs from all over will have a chance to meet, chat, network, and make plans for the rest of the convention.

Because of high prices and low availability of suitable venues, we will have a plated breakfast this year with meat and vegetarian options. When you purchase your ticket, please designate your choice of breakfast. We will convey exact counts to the vendor, so please remember what you have chosen.

Menu Options

  • Scrambled eggs and bacon, roasted potatoes with sweet peppers and onions, roasted tomato half, fresh fruit and berries
  • Sourdough French toast, fresh berries and powdered sugar, warm maple syrup

Prices

We are able to offset exorbitant San Francisco prices, offering everyone a huge reduction from the hotel’s usual rates, thanks to a generous subsidy from WPA. We expect much more reasonable rates next year, when the convention is held in Louisville.

  • Faculty breakfast (either choice): $31
  • Graduate student or adjunct breakfast (either choice): $20
  • Contributions to the Connors Fund (to subsidize graduate student and adjunct breakfasts): Any amount

Sorry. We are no longer taking breakfast orders as the caterers have to be informed as to the number of people attending.

Once you have purchased your breakfast, save your receipt and bring your receipt to the breakfast—it’s your entrance ticket. The doors will open at 6:00 a.m.
