Hotel
Reservations Update (September 16, 2006): Our conference
hotel is completely booked for several nights during the AGM,
including Saturday. No need to worry though. We have set up overflow room blocks
at two hotels near Loews with special rates available until
September 26, subject to room availability. Visit the
Overflow Hotel Information page to learn about the
hotels and how to make reservations.
Please Note:
If you reserved more room nights at Loews than you will actually need for the
AGM, or if you have decided to room with someone and still have an
extra room reserved, please cancel the room nights you won’t be
using. |
New for the 2006 AGM
-
"Dine-around"
shuttles will be chartered for Thursday and Friday
evening. Tickets must be pre-ordered on the AGM
registration form. Learn
more and view a list of the restaurants on the shuttle
routes.
-
An optional
sandwich buffet will be available Friday and Saturday
as a quick alternative to eating lunch in a
restaurant. Tickets must be pre-ordered on the AGM
registration form. We HIGHLY recommend this option,
since the hotel restaurants will not be able to
accommodate all AGM attendees for lunch at the same
time, and the nearest off-property restaurants are
about a mile from the hotel.

the buffet menus.

The
Registration Forms
Although AGM and Tour
registration forms were included in the brochure mailed to all JASNA
members, we would prefer that you fill out the forms provided in
Adobe Acrobat PDF format below. (Click on the turquoise "AGM
Registration Form" and "Tour Registration Form" boxes below.)
Using these forms, you will
be able to easily type in your information, and the form will
automatically calculate your total fee. After completing a form,
please print two copies, keep one for your records, and mail in the
other with your check or money order. Members who register for the
AGM using the forms on the website will be entered in a drawing for
a special raffle basket. These forms must be
mailed; they cannot be submitted online. Also, the Tour
Registration Form must be mailed separately to the tour provider,
Convention & Group Services.
The
registration forms can only be opened if you have Adobe Acrobat Reader software on your computer.
You can download a free copy of the most recent version of the
software by clicking on the Adobe Acrobat Reader link above.
Additional tips for using the forms on this website are provided
below.
Tips for Filling Out These
Forms
-
To enter text on a blank
line, just move your cursor down the page towards the line. You
don't have to align your cursor, because the text entry points are
pre-set, as are the font styles and sizes. As you approach a blank
line you will see the cursor turn from a hand to an I-beam
pointer. When this happens, click your mouse. A
blinking insertion point will appear in a pre-designated spot, and
you can simply begin typing. When done finished, just drop
down to the next line with your mouse or press the Tab
key.
-
The dollar amounts you
enter will total at the bottom of the form. However, you will need
to enter the correct amount on each line and multiply the amounts
yourself if you purchasing tickets, etc. for more than one
person.
-
Text can be removed by
hitting the Escape key. Check marks can be removed by
clicking on them or pressing the Ctrl and Z keys at
the same time.
-
When you are ready to
print out your completed form, print from the Adobe program (e.g.,
use the Print icon in the Adobe program). Don't use your
browser's Print icon.
-
If you have problems
getting the I-beam cursor to appear or if you have problems
printing, you might want to upgrade to the latest Adobe Reader
program using the link above.
-
Special note for Mac
OS X users: If the registration forms open, but you
can't fill them out, look in the upper left corner to see whether
it says "Adobe Reader" or "Preview". If it says the latter,
your computer has opened the form in an image viewer program
because it couldn't find Adobe Reader. If you can't find the
Adobe Reader program either, download it free from the Adobe
website. If you do find Adobe Reader on your computer, open
the program, go to the File menu, click on Open,
then navigate to the form (registration_form.pdf or tour_form.pdf)
and open it from within Adobe Reader. (The form has presumably
been already downloaded onto your computer.) You should now be
able to fill it out.
