The Convention Registration Form requests your meal choices and information on any special dietary restrictions. If you plan to use the Convention coach service from Sacramento Airport to Murphys, it also asks for information on your airline flight (airline, flight number, arrival time). This flight information will be essential for our planning the coach service. We don't want to leave anyone at the Airport! Please book a flight arriving Sacramento by 3pm on Thursday. If this is not feasible, consider flying Wednesday and over-nighting in Sacramento at the Ramada Inn.

Also please note the 7:30am coaches' departure time for return to Sacramento Airport on Monday morning.  Sacramento Airport check-in and security can be congested on Monday morning. It is a two-hour ride to the Airport. You probably should not schedule a return flight leaving before 11:30am.

If you plan to use the Airport-to-Murphys Coach service, please send your Convention Registration Form to the Convention Registrar as soon as you have your airline arrangements completed. You may send your monetary payment later (but note the date for Fee increase). Receiving attendees'  flight information will enable us to determine the number of coaches required and to schedule coaches' departures.

Once coach schedule is fixed, we will send all coach riders the schedule, the coach to which they are assigned, and instructions on how to meet and board the coach.

Late decisions to ride the coach will be accepted. Send the Convention Registrar your flight information and you'll receive a coach assignment and instructions.

Please send me an email with any questions you have or clarifications you might need.
 
I hope you can come to Murphys.

        Cordially,

        Bob Spotts
        2010 ADS Convention Co-Chairman
