2011 1p36 DSA Conference Registration is OPEN!

On behalf of the 1p36 DSA, we would like to welcome you to the 2011 1p36 DSA Family Conference and Retreat held in Minneapolis-St. Paul. For the past four years, we've welcomed new and old families with members who have 1p36 Chromosome Deletion to gather in learning new information, share our stories and spend time together. This year, we invite you to get away with us as we meet on the beautiful campus of Bethel University in Saint Paul, Minnesota on the shores of Lake Valentine. Located just 20 minutes from both downtown St. Paul and Minneapolis, 25 minutes from MSP International Airport and 30 minutes from the Mall of America, we'll enjoy the comforts of the city and the quiet retreat of Bethel's 245-acre campus. You might notice things look a little different this year. First, we're pleased to offer an "all-inclusive" style retreat complete with lodging, meals, registration fees and activities. You'll find a blend of dynamic speakers with topics ranging from advocacy to education, ideas for adaptations and encouragement to face the daily challenges along with times to relax and enjoy being with our "1p36 Family". Be sure to explore the links to find detailed information on registration, conference details and more about the area. We look forward to "retreating" with you in the Land of 10,000 Lakes!


Sincerely,
Beth Hegney and Heather Antoine
2011 1p36 DSA Conference and Retreat Co-Hosts
