Three weeks from today (February 6) the Early-Bird pre-registration
period will end for our exciting 22nd Conference in Portland, OR.  If
you haven't already done so, please visit the VRA website to register
online or print out the forms for mailing.
(http://www.vraweb.org/VRAPortland/RegistrationWebFormsFinal.htm).  The
forms  can be printed out as pdf or Word files and mailed in with a
check, however they must bear a postmark of no later than February 6,
2004. Credit card payments for preregistration fees are available only
on-line using Paypal, so choosing this method is particularly
convenient and by registering now will ensure that you will receive the
early-bird pre-registration discount.

A few helpful reminders for registrants:

1.  The full color preliminary program is designed to be downloaded for
your use in lieu of a hard copy package being mailed out to the
membership.

2.  When electronically registering on-line: after paying on Paypal's
screen, simply close the Paypal windows and the e-form will still be up so you can
complete pre-registration by clicking on the submit button.  Unless the
submit form is clicked, you will not be preregistered.

If you miss the Early-Bird rates, Regular Registration begins February
6th and forms must be mailed and postmarked no later than February 15,
2004. All others must register on site at the Regular Registration
rate. Registration forms mailed with a postmark dated after February
15th cannot be processed in advance and will be taken to Portland for
on-site registration.

If you are planning to stay at the conference hotels, the Portland
Hilton & Executive Tower, we would also like to remind you that the
last date for registration for the conference hotel rate is also
February 6, 2004.

Our conference is bursting with stimulating workshops, sessions,
seminars and fascinating tours of the City of Roses.  Special member events such
as the gala Member's Reception,  the ever popular Tansey Dinner, the always
cutting edge Exhibits  and the tantalizing VRAffle will also help make
it a delightful way to wrap up our memorable twenty-first year as an
association.


See you in the City of Roses!
