The VHL Family Alliance turns 15 years old!
You're invited to our birthday party!
In January 1993 we published the first issue of the VHL Family Forum. In 1994 we held our first national meeting in Kansas City, Kansas.
This year, in celebration of our fifteenth anniversary, we are planning to meet in Orlando!
Meetings will be held all day on Saturday, June 28, followed by the birthday dinner celebration.
Sunday the Board will meet while everyone else is on their own for fun in the parks. The theme of this meeting is Staying Strong -- both mentally and physically. We will have some presentations designed for younger attendees. Some speakers will focus on complementary medicine -- vitamins and herbs that can help to soften the course of VHL.
You can register for the meeting right now, on the internet at vhl.org/meetings. Prices go up after April 30, so please make your reservations early!
You will need to make your own reservations with the hotel by April 30 to get the special room rate for the VHL meeting:
You will need to arrange transportation from the airport to the hotel. Once you are at the hotel, however, there is a free shuttle from the hotel to the parks.
Meetings will be held 9 to 5 on Saturday, June 28, so you will want to arrive on Friday night.
The Birthday Dinner on Saturday night is included in the all-day conference rate. For those not attending the conference, extra dinner tickets will be $20 per person (adult or child).
Children are welcome at dinner or meetings. Optional child care arrangements are available at additional cost. Send requests to orlando@vhl.org
Registration will be $99 per person for the full day of meetings (includes breakfast, lunch, and festive dinner to celebrate our birthday!)
We encourage you to come with a spouse or significant other person, to make sure that your team is all on the same page! We are offering a discount for a second attendee from the same family -- take $20 off the second registration.
AND if you register before April 30, you get $20 off each registration (in other words, two people for $79 + $59 instead of $99 +$79). WHAT A DEAL!
We have left Sunday free so that you can enjoy the attractions in Orlando. You can arrange park tickets in advance, or purchase them on site. There are several websites on the internet where you can plan your journey and reserve tickets. A few examples: Disney offers a Free Vacation Planning DVD that includes a tour of the parks at http://www.waltdisneyworld.com/
It is generally more economical to choose one park per day, rather than to “park-hop”.
Orlando is particularly good for visitors with special needs. Check on the websites or call the hotel for advice. |
