The fare is $117 round trip, leaving July 5, and returning the 11th.<br /><br />Then you'll use Philly's SEPTA rail to go from the station to the hotel, about 5 minutes. Then walk a block to the hotel.Robert Ghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05419276476926579623noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7696461118314848250.post-70876562626764005712010-02-02T13:55:50.355-05:002010-02-02T13:55:50.355-05:00Sean,

I'm sorry you are feeling this ...Hello Robert,<br /><br />I'm sorry you are feeling this way. I understand, not many people visit websites often. However, NAD did post these on their website - www.nad.org/philly. <br /><br />Registration info - both Combo and Non-Combo - has been online since last fall (at which time an eblast was sent) and the deadlines have been posted as well. The difference between Early Bird I and II Combo is $25.00. I believe.<br /><br />Regarding John Egbert's remarks re: the upcoming EHDI Conference - here are the facts:<br /><br />Howard Rosenblum and Rosaline Crawford (NAD) are scheduled to co-present on an EHDI panel discussion called "Connecting the Dots: Deaf Community Participation in EHDI Programs" with Tami Hossler (DBC), Barbara Raimondo (Clerc Center), Beth Benedict (ASDC), and Jodee Crace (ISD).<br /><br />Abstract: This session will describe the importance of including deaf community members in EHDI and family support programs. It will describe authentic inclusion and involvement. It will cover research findings and personal experiences that demonstrate the benefits to families of deaf community participation. It will address deaf-hearing partnerships, bridge-building among communities, and supporting parents in their acceptance of their child?s deafness. And it will provide information on steps EHDI directors can take to more equitably include deaf individuals in EHDI systems.<br /><br />This is a 30-minute session so panelists each have 4 minutes, in order to leave a few minutes for Q&A. <br /><br />I trust this information is helpful. If you have any questions, please feel free to drop me a note - sean.gerlis@nad.org<br /><br />Be talking with you more soon.<br /><br />Best,<br /><br />-Sean<br /><br />Region 1 Board Member<br />NADAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00163808165861288836noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7696461118314848250.post-37437128190196090022010-01-31T04:53:28.399-05:002010-01-31T04:53:28.399-05:00[B]NZBsRus.com[/B]

Taking over certain duties such as setting up, recordkeeping and hostess duties in exchange for lowered fees, and alternative hotel reservations (a block of rooms in a cheaper hotel with shuttle service). <br /><br />The cost of the early bird package plus travel and meals now approaches $1,000. I'm sure many more Deaf would charter buses if the cost could be about half that.Dianrezhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07077219189139398901noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7696461118314848250.post-66039980091569163542010-01-30T18:23:59.393-05:002010-01-30T18:23:59.393-05:00RLM say this...
