Registration Now Open

The 2010 SAPFM annual banquet and Cartouche Award ceremony will be on Monday, January 18, at the Williamsburg Lodge, with cash bar beginning at 6:00 p.m., and the banquet at 7:00 p.m. The cost of the banquet is $65 per person, the same as in 2009.

Registration is now open, and can be done by mail and check, or online using a credit card through PayPal. Mail-in registration forms are being sent along with the Fall newsletter. The form is also available for download by clicking here. Please complete all the information that appears on the form.

For online payment through PayPal, please complete the information requested, especially the name of the person(s) who will be attending the banquet, and the name appearing on the credit card used to make payment. To register for the banquet online using PayPal, click here.

There will be tables available for members to display portfolios or small pieces. If you need a table to display merchandise, please indicate this on the online or mail-in form.

If you are registering by mail, please allow enough mailing time so that your registration reaches me at my address by January 11, 2010. If registering by PayPal, please use the same date. In order to keep the cost the same, we need to give Williamsburg an accurate count prior to the banquet to avoid last minute cost increases.

The annual business meeting will be held Sunday, January 17, from 2-4 pm in the Hennage Auditorium. All SAPFM members are encouraged to attend.

Thanks. See you in Williamsburg.
