Meet Authors at the FANHS National Conference

is the Authors' Reception on July 22, 2010.

Kenai Tour information & updates to schedule

Nearly all conference presenters have received confirmation of their time/date of their presentations. I thank you in advance for some of the changes that may have to be made.

Just a reminder: Everyone, including all conference presenters, must register for the conference. The FANHS national conference is a great bargain -- with the awards banquet, networking lunch, authors' reception, continental breakfast, and so much more -- included in the very low conference registration fee (around $100). Your canceled check will be your receipt. Registration packets will be available when we all get to Alaska. FANHS Conference registration forms are here: http://home.earthlink.net/~jmtc29/registration.pdf

If you'd like to join us on the pre-conference tour to Kenai canneries and more... please add $30 to your registration fee and note "Kenai Tour" on your reg form. Mail your registration form and check, made payable to FANHS, to:

FANHS National Office
810 - 18th Avenue
Seattle, WA 98122

Please note that to join the Kenai Tour, all participants must be in the lobby of the Anchorage Hilton Hotel by 6:30 a.m. on Wednesday, July 2.

Another correction to the schedule below is that the post-tour dinner will be held at St. Anthony's Church.

See you soon!
