We have established a registration fee of $85.00 for the meeting. This fee, as well as any additional fees you may owe, will be collected when you pick up your registration package at the meeting. A meeting registration table will be set up in the main lobby from 3:00 to 6:00 p.m. on Oct. 9, and outside of the main meeting room on the morning of Oct 10.
Additional fees include the cost of the banquet entree , and a $12.00 per person fee for those participating in the aquarium excursion. When you register, we will provide a total tally and receipt of all costs incurred based on your selections, as they are presented currently on the web page. At this point in time, even if you decide not to attend a meeting activity, if you signed up for that activity you will still be charged.
