Cape Cod is an arm-shaped peninsula forming the easternmost portion of Massachusetts. Formed by terminal glacial moraines laid down around 20,000 years ago, the Cape is a land of stunning natural beauty. Large sections are preserved and maintained by the National Park Service. Cape Cod is a popular tourist destination in the summer, and is known for seafood (particularly oysters and lobster), lighthouses, and boating and beach activities.

Provincetown is the outermost village of Cape Cod. It is home to a much more diverse and lively cultural scene than its small size would suggest: its narrow streets, best traversed by pedestrians, offer everything from whale watching tours and historical sites, to art galleries and drag revues.

The meeting will be held at the Provincetown Inn, One Commercial Street, Provincetown, MA. Please do not use the hotel's online booking service for this workshop: instead, book here.
