[Trock, Debra]

Hello again fellow SPNHC members,

I wanted to let all of you know a couple of things about the meeting registration site:


1)      When you go to the registration tab, you will see 6 possible registration categories listed:  Member, Non-Member, Guest, Student Member, Student Non-Member and Student Guest.  Once you pick the appropriate category for your registration, the rest of the page will pop up so that you can choose which events you plan to attend.  Even though the Tuesday & Wednesday night events and the vendor lunch are included with your registration cost, you will still need to check the boxes if you plan to attend these, as that's how we will get a head count to plan on amounts of food.  Also, if you are bringing a guest to the social events, banquet or field trip you will need "register" them separately.  Just check the "Guest" box and the rest of the form will appear showing the prices for an additional guest ticket for the socials, banquet, field trips and workshops.    VERY IMPORTANT....if you try to register and something does not work correctly, PLEASE DON'T JUST REGISTER AGAIN!!  The program will charge you twice, it doesn't remember who you are and sees each registration as a different person.  The reason that registration programs work like this is that it is actually a database that records which events you will attend and prints out a customized name badge and tickets for each event that you have paid for.

2)      We have negotiated with the hotel for a few rooms for students.  A double occupancy room is normally $134 with the 3rd & 4th people paying an additional $20 each.  For students they will allow 4 students per room without paying the additional $20 for the 3rd and 4th people.  Since most institutions will not likely have 4 students attending, please encourage your students to try to pair up with other students to save some money!!

See you in May!!
