[NYAPRS Enews] Last Call! Register Today for Next Week's NYAPRS Annual Conference

[Matt Canuteson]

NYAPRS Note: We are only a week away from this fall's NYAPRS Annual
Conference where we will be once again offering breaking news of the
latest advances in the provision of exemplary community services to
support people with psychiatric disabilities in their recovery and their
vocational, social and community living aspirations. 

Registrations are pouring in these past few weeks and we are noting that
rooms at both the Hudson Valley Resort (main site) and the nearby Honors
Haven are going fast so please register today! Please direct any
questions to Kizzi Casale at kizzic at nyaprs.org
<mailto:kizzic at nyaprs.org>  or at 518-436-0008. 

We're just about filled at the Hudson Valley so that a number of
attendees will be staying at the lovely Honors Haven Resort that's about
15 minutes away: we'll be running several shuttles back and forth
between the two hotels each hour starting next Wednesday September 16th,
the first day of the conference and all the way through to Friday
afternoon at conference's end. 

Please note that this year Wednesday lunch is not part of the package so
please take your lunch prior to the 1:00 conference kick off. 

Please note: most rates cover the full cost of all programs, lodging,
meals and special activities and healing opportunities (includes free
acupuncture, massage, reiki and shiatsu sessions!).
