That you will promote Round Up from the Heart at your shows (Second Harvest Food Bank). By checking that and committing to it you get the free trivet at NC.
 
Thanks! I promote it now so I will make the commitment. :chef:

Has anyone had luck with housing reservations? It doesn't recognize my number as a valid one and calling the housing planners results in nothing (too busy) - I did email them so we shall see.
 
Here is my schedule - but it is tentative - I'll be changing it in April, when I officially become an FD again....I want to take the Guiding New Consultants workshop.

Not too bad if you make a higher level...Problem is if you DON'T register early the general workshops you want can sometimes get filled. (HO tours fill up too)

I wonder if the guy modeling the shirt on Merril's page will be there! ;)
 
yes, i saw the link right after i posted my question LOL

i do have a logistics question. I have 2 signed recruits, but i am not seeing the FD workshop listed for me to choose. Once my recruit qualifies, will I then see the workshop if I go back to change my workshop selection?

To someone else's question:Payments are by PC Debit, PC Visa, PC Dollars, or Conference Club.
 
My Id wasn't recognized either but I just kept trying until it did. Just keep trying
 
Park your vehicle at the Home Office and ride a bus to the Conference hotels. When Conference concludes, ride the bus back to
the Home Office. The cost is $10 each way per person


Sweet! I'll have to calculate it but it may be cheaper to drive after all!
 
I'm planning of being a director by May 1st. Can changes be made later so that I can switch to seminars that will help me help my team more or not?

Yep! I'm planning on changing mine later too.


I've actually changed workshops when I picked up my registration packet at conference - they are very good about letting you change.

Yep, you sure can. I promoted on June 30th of '05 and was able to change my classes around.
 
Is anyone else having trouble registering? I just put in all my info multiple times and it keeps saying that there is no number or invalid number or I didn't click to confirm. What "confirm" button? All I see is "Aceept" or "Not Accept" and when I click on it it says there is an outstanding balance, no TPC card number and an inbvalid credit card number. I'm really frustrated and I can't get the Hilton on the phone to make a reservation. I can't do it online because my family is coming and we are staying an extra night and they don't give you that option. Aaargh!
