Charlie Soltan (ME) and his wife, Kathy, have put together a vacation guide for some of their favorite places in Maine to share with you all. They invite you to spend extra time with family or loved ones before, or after the Fall Meeting. Fall foliage is typically in it’s prime around early-mid October, and it is a stunning time to visit the state. You can download the guide here, and also view it on the SLR Fall 2025 Meeting page.
Here’s a note from Charlie:
“We are looking forward to having SLR here in Portland and wish to share some ideas with everyone to make it a memorable trip and worth the little extra time it takes to get here. Maine has been attracting non-indigenous vacationers since 1604, and possibly a few Norsemen before that, and now is the best time ever!”
Questions? Just ask Charlie or Kathy: Charles.soltan@soltanbass.com, kgillissoltan@gmail.com

As discussed in Monterey at the SLR Fall Business Meeting, we would like to gather information about hosting a National SLR meeting in Hawaii in 2027.

The results of the survey will be discussed at the Spring Business Meeting in Fort Worth, TX.
We need at least one response per firm by May 9.
