Announcing 2012 AWSDA Symposium!

 

The 2012 AWSDA symposium is taking place in the Seattle area at the Bellevue Red Lion in Bellevue, WA, Oct 5-7.  Conference attendees will not only enjoy the conference, but can visit the many fun places in Bellevue, which is just nine miles outside Seattle. Nestled on the shores of Lake Washington, Bellevue is a vibrant city with an array of beautiful parks, restaurants, malls and wineries, and is just 25 minutes away from the airport. For more information on things to do in Bellevue, visit http://www.visitbellevuewashington.com/discoverbellevue/overview.shtml 

 

The Bellevue Red Lion AWSDA room rates are an economical $80 per night, the lowest rate we've had in the history of  AWSDA conferences. The rooms are cozy and comfortable, with king or queen beds, coffee makers, hair dryers, refrigerators, microwaves, and irons. The hotel also has a fitness center, outdoor swimming pool and on-site Hertz rental office and complimentary parking. The hotel has an airport shuttle for just $19, and a complimentary shuttle service to destinations within a three-mile radius. I am working with the catering department on the meal plan, and from what I understand the hotel chefs have a reputation for being creative and amazing. Book your room now right here! Oh and check out the gun range! It is just 3 short miles away from the hotel. It is one of the nicest indoor ranges in the area.

 

In view of everything I've told you, there will be NO excuses this year for not being able to make it to this symposium! Start saving your pennies and book your air flight now to save money. Early October is a gorgeous time of year in the Pacific Northwest. You will just miss the busy tourist season and still  be able to enjoy some very nice weather. Don't miss this opportunity to visit Seattle, a dazzling cosmopolitan city with lots to do. (For more information on things to do in Seattle, visit ( http://www.seattle.gov/visiting/ ) Make sure to stay an extra day or two if you can. And yes, the hotel will honor you with the same rate, three days before and after the symposium. Awesome! That's all for now – stay tuned! 

I hope to see you in October!

Sincerely,

Lisa Skvarla and the fabulous new board of directors

Testimonials

Loved the AWSDA weekend!
Lots of good speakers and hands on, for real life situationals and techniques to use. The class on "Home Invasion" was super intense with Lieutenant Colonel Scott L. Wilcox; great ideas to work with if one ever has to! I added a few techniques for my own classes from the "Ground Fighting and Defensive Spray" class taught by Dennis Golden from "Girls Fight Back". The 8 hour "Instructors Rape Prevention Certification" course was a great refresher since I've been to many AWSDA conventions before. Lastly, the 6 hour class at the range on gun education was so informative and a really enjoyable way to finish off the exciting weekend. Definitely a JAM PACKED weekend of learning and fun! Thanks Lisa for a great event!

Risk Aids or Health Insurance?
Christina Turner feared that she might have been sexually assaulted after two men slipped her a knockout drug. She thought she was taking proper precautions when her doctor prescribed a month's worth of anti-AIDS medicine. Only later did she learn that she had made herself all but uninsurable.
