Afternoon,
Is anyone planning on going to the conference in Chicago, July 7-10? I'm looking into going and just wondering if I can meet up with anyone....

Hi Dolly,
Yes, Brian and I are going to be at the conference. I don't have all of our travel plans set yet, but we have registered for the conference and the hotel. We are staying at the hotel that is hosting the conference (the name escapes me at the moment). Let's plan on meeting up somewhere/somehow. Are you taking any of your kids?

Well... when we planned our Louisville trip we didn't realize it was the same weekend.. until after I prepaid our rooms. Chicago is not that far from me and know plenty that are going. Would have loved to drive up to meet at least! But, Louisville is calling my name instead. Have fun!!!! A.

OK am I missing something here? Doesn't mention anything (that I can find) about children with DS under 13 or siblings under 8. Anyone have any clues?
I am tossing this idea around...it sounds like a lot of great information... I would hate to miss it...but what would I do with the kids? ? ? ?
any clues? Help?

Cathy,
I went to the NDSC convention last year and I didn't take my kids. I don't think you would get much out of the conference if you have kids to chase around and entertain. Truthfully, it was kind of lonely but I was able to listen to the presenters.

That information regarding the age groups is listed on the brochure I have from NDSS for the conference.

Morning all,
Just got my tickets for the conference...and hubby IS able to go after all!! I was alittle nervous about going myself, so this works out great. Besides, it gives me and hubby some "alone" time...not that we don't love being with the family, but time to yourselves is a gift!!
Hope we can meet up with some of our UNO MAS parents..we are staying at the Fairmont hotel...I think thats where the conference is too. We'll have to make a sign or something, or you can just look for the OLDEST parents of a almost 5yr old....lol......Dolly

Hey Dolly! How bad are the rates at the Fairmont? We were thinking about going, but we just paid off Disney and need to gut a bathroom and need new carpets, getting the idea? LOL! But still, I'd love to go, however we'd be with kids.

Christine - that would be GREAT if you guys went - let us know when you decide.
Dolly - have you chosen the workshops you are attending yet? I just printed off the list today so that me and Brian can decide which ones we want to attend. We are arriving sometime on Thursday evening. If we don't catch up to you on Thursday, maybe we can find you at one of the workshops.

Jessie,
I'm so sorry....I just read your last post! We will be there on Thursday morning, somewhere around 9am. (If amtrak is on time). I looked at the workshops...some very interesting subjects...I'm really interested in anything that deals with speech...I'd love to hear Libby kumin. I'm also looking forward to hearing Chris Burke's band...and the dance should be a blast!! Is anyone else from UnoMas going? I remember that Betty and Ian's mom said she was going. We'll all have to get together. I don't have a Unomas t-shirt, but maybe we could make a small sign or something. Looking forward to meeting you and hubby. Bring LOTS of pics! Dolly
