Convention!!!
05/02/08 16:59
To all presidents and Convention Chairs;
Convention!!! This year's theme is "Under the Sea", the dates of convention are May 1st through the 4th.
Please join me at Convention this year and let's show them Irvine Cares about kids! You will learn about current issues in education, network to share best practices and hear experts and inspirational speakers.
All units should have at least one person attending Convention this year. The dates of convention are May 1st through the 4th.
Convention will be at the Long Beach Convention Center with a special night at the Long Beach Aquarium ($35.00 includes dinner, dancing and admission into the Aquarium of the Pacific ). See attached flyer. If your unit has not received a Convention packet please let me know asap and I will get one to you. All Unit Presidents should have received their Convention packets. I urge you not to miss this very valuable training. Convention is a great resource and being so close to home, everyone that can attend, should attend. If there is a question as to how many voting delegates you can send, please contact me. Remember; you don't have to be a voting delegate to attend the classes. Every unit should send as many board members as possible. Don't forget that these delegates must be voted in by your association ( a quick and easy task ).
Long Beach Convention and Visitors Bureau has provided us a link for housing registration and it is on the CAPTA website (click on the Convention button). The faxes yesterday were coming in by the "boatloads" (their words not mine) and jamming their fax machine. Please go to www.capta.org to register for Convention as well as housing. Please note that the t-shirts are Mens sizes ? !!!
As always, I am available to answer any questions you may have. Home (949) 552-4333 and cell (949) 290-9991.
