SAVE THE DATES!

* ASCA NATIONAL CONFERENCE 2009 *

JUNE 28 - JULY 1, 2009
Dallas, Texas — Hyatt Regency

Please be sure to mark your calendars for ASCA’s professional development opportunities and time to network with professional school counselors from across the United States and other countries. It is wise to make your hotel reservations early at the Hyatt Regency (1-800-233-1234). These rooms sell out very quickly and it is very convenient to stay at the same hotel as the conference. Rates are $159.00 plus tax, which is now 15% less than the rate thereafter. Online ASCA conference registration will be available at www.schoolcounselor.org after January 2, 2009. That rate is $325.00 before March 1, 2009, and goes up after that date. Please consider making this the year that you attend by budgeting for the trip now! The theme is “Making A Difference!”.

OCTOBER 16 - 17, 2008
Missoula, Montana — College of Technology

Click here for preliminary information on the MEA-MFT fall institute that will be held in Missoula this year on October 16 and 17th. MEA-MFT will be offering online registration for the conference this year (http://www.mea-mft.org/edconf08.htm). This is a brand new concept for all of us.

* MSCA 2009 SPRING CONFERENCE *

APRIL 16 - 17, 2009
Bozeman, Montana — Holiday Inn

We invite you to plan your attendance at next year’s conference. We have secured the dates, increased our room holds, and started discussions about speakers and breakout formats. Do not wait. Last year some said the hotel was booked when they waited until the end of March to book their rooms and they had to go elsewhere. We want you there with us so call today and make your reservation in advance! The MSCA Board is reviewing your surveys and promises to meet many of the requests listed with regard to specific subject matter. We really enjoyed getting to know you and truly appreciate your comments. We do take these to heart and work towards meeting your needs. Elections will be next year as well. Be thinking about what your gift is and how you can make our organization better through your volunteer service in one of the open offices. We need You! Letters of interest can be sent to ksg12@juno.com.

Kristy Savaria, MSCA President
