Your non-refundable registration fee for this event depends on when we receive your registration paperwork.  To receive the advance registration rate of $199.99 (which includes 2 double occupancy room-nights at the Lakeview), we must receive your info and payment by 5:00PM (Eastern Time) on Wednesday, March 14, 2012.  (If you do not request the person with whom you will share the room, then we will coordinate your room assignment.) All registration-related info received after that date will be considered late and will be subject to the late/on-site registration fee of $399.00.  There will be a $50 banking fee for all checks written on insufficient funds.
