For the blog, from Lorne….
It’s hard to believe that the year is almost over and the countdown to 2012 has begun. So too is the countdown to the 2012 SayWhatClub convention, to be held at the Red Lion Hotel in downtown Salt Lake City, Utah, from August 15 to 18.
Our convention webpage is now up. You can find it at saywhatclub.com/events/SLC-con/SLC-con.html or go to our home page, saywhatclub.com, and click on “Conventions” at the top of the page.
You’ll find a convention registration form, workshop schedule and hotel registration information, as well as links to many tourist attractions in the Salt Lake City area. Check back later for a detailed workshop schedule.
The early-bird registration fee (checks postmarked by May 15, 2012) is $100 for a SWC member, $175 for a member and spouse and $200 for a non-member and spouse.
You must register separately for the hotel. Nightly room rates are $94 for a single, $99 for a double and $109 for a quad, plus tax. These rates are good for three days prior to the con start and three days after the con ends.
Mark your calendars now. There’s lots of time to save money. SayWhatClub conventions are educational and fun. I always like to emphasize the fun part. This will be my 10th convention. I’m already looking forward to it.
Senators Olympia Snowe and Tom Harkins have introduced S.905. This piece of legislation provides a tax credit of up to $500 per hearing aid, every 5 years. There are 6 other Senators who are the original co-sponsors of this piece of legislation.
