CLEVELAND, June 1 — Members should register immediately for the quickly approaching Southeastern Meeting Association (SMA) convention at Walt Disney World. “Late registration” ($89 plus $20 SMA dues) ends in one week from now at 11:59 p.m. on June 5.
After that, “late registration” will end and will re-open as “at-the-door registration,” which is $105 plus $20 SMA dues. If you are interested in attending the meeting, you must register soon.
The convention runs from June 10-15 at the Coronado Springs Resort at Walt Disney World in Orlando, Fla.
The increasing fee amounts are due to the higher costs the SMA arrangements committee incurs by making last minute changes to their contracts, explained Brother Earl Karper, chairman of this year’s SMA. The $20 SMA dues must accompany the registration of anyone who is a BLET member (please note that only BLET members need to pay the dues amount, and that registrations are NOT considered complete unless the appropriate SMA dues are included).
In addition to a number of educational workshops, the planners of this year’s SMA have also scheduled a number of fun-filled family events. Entertainment options include a tour of the Walt Disney Railroad steam trains at the Magic Kingdom, golf tournament on a PGA graded course, a motorcycle ride and many other exciting possibilities not only at Walt Disney World, but throughout the greater Orlando area as well.
Members should go to the 2007 SMA website to register online as soon as possible: http://www.2007sma.com.
