INTERNATIONAL STILL'S DISEASE

SEVENTH ANNUAL CONFERENCE

Hello everyone,

I'm posting again the conference information so that you may make your

travel and booking arrangements for this year's Seventh Annual Still's

Disease Conference in Las Vegas Nevada at the Orleans Hotel & Casino.

I NEED A HEAD COUNT FOR THOSE THAT ARE ATTENDING please. If you will write

to me at mellymelt@... and let me know how many in your party will

be able to go so we can make sure you will have goodies and something to eat

the morning of the conference. I need this information as soon as possible

because we need to get the order placed this week.

We have a speaker this year I know personally and she is amazing. Her name

is Stefanie Yearian and she will be speaking on dealing with the emotional

aspects of living with a chronic illness. I will have her stats up and a bit

more information this week as well.

The conference dates are Sunday October 12th and Monday October 13th. The

13th is Columbus Day in the United States.

Sunday is an informal day with many people arriving throughout the day so we

have an informal meet and greet to visit with old friends and meet new ones

in the late afternoon. Many have dinner together afterwards but it is not a

planned event. Monday is conference day starting at 9:00am upstairs in the

meeting rooms in salon I. There is a $20 per person, donation at the door

and a Continental breakfast of pastries, coffee, tea and juice. The

conference is opened with a salutation from our President Carole Triller to

be followed by the speaker. Lunch will be from 12:00 until 1:30pm and in

the afternoon session we have a bit of foundation updates with our Dad and

treasurer Bob Himes and fun with a gift give away fundraiser for $1 per

ticket donations. Gifts are graciously accepted. Most attendees meet at the

Prime Rib Loft restaurant for dinner that evening.

We have spent all of our previous years at the Orleans Hotel & Casino and

they are just several miles off the strip and downtown Las Vegas. The hotel

boasts many amenities such as shows, theaters, bowling alley, spa, pool,

gaming, clubs and eateries. Many never even leave the hotel or you might

find other activities around town during your stay. The hotel offers a

shuttle into town and surrounding casinos to visit.

If you wish to stay at the Orleans hotel you can make reservations for the

guaranteed prices given here by calling:

1-

When the Room Reservations Department is open (Monday - Friday between the

hours of 7:00 AM and 11:00PM - Pacific Time / Saturday & Sunday between the

hours of 9:00 AM and 5 PM - Pacific Time).

You MUST identify yourself as attendees of the International Stills

Conference or group code 8ISCC10 in order to obtain a room reservation under

the above-mentioned block. Without this identification, you will not be

quoted the special group rate and may be told they are sold out.

As an alternative, you can also book online by visiting

www.orleanscasino.com <http://www.orleanscasino.com/> , clicking on " Book a

Room " and entering the group code, 8ISCC1, in the Group Code field.

At the time the reservation is made, you will be asked to provide a major

credit card or send a deposit for the first night's room and tax.

The cut-off date for your room block is 09/11/08. Any reservations received

after this date will be accepted on a " space available " basis. To ensure

space availability, please call in a timely manner.

All registered guests will be required to present a credit card upon

check-in. The credit card provided must be able to accept an authorization

in the amount of $100.00 per stay of incidental charges.

It is policy at The Orleans Hotel & Casino that each and every guest room be

occupied by at least one adult, 21 years of age or older. The hotel

reserves the right to refuse service or terminate service to any

individual(s) at any time that is not in compliance with this policy.

Cancellations on individual room reservations will be accepted up to 72

hours prior to the check in time of 4 p.m. on the scheduled date of arrival

with no penalty fee. However, any individual who cancels their reservation

after this cut-off will be responsible for one night's room and room tax.

The following rates are for per room, per night, single or double occupancy,

plus County room tax, currently at nine percent (9%). There is an

additional $15.00 extra guest charge for triple and quad occupancy, per

guest 15 years of age or older with a maximum of 4 guests per room. Coast

Hotels & Casinos, Inc. Dba the Orleans Hotel & Casino does not guarantee

specific room type, location or smoking preference. Requests will be

accommodated to the best of their ability.

Special arrangements have been made for five rooms for a Saturday October

11th check in at the base rate of $129.00.

Sunday October 12th through Tuesday October 14th 20 rooms are available for

the base price of $67.00 per night and an additional five rooms are

available for the nights of Wednesday October 15th and Thursday October 16th

at the $67.00 base price.

I know some attendees have medications that need to be kept cold and the

hotel in past years has had a couple of small refrigerators available to

use. If none are available, and I often take a cooler and keep it in

our room or one can be purchased at a local store and attendees are always

willing to buddy up when it comes to assistance.

The hotel does not have free shuttle service to the airport but

transportation can be arranged and is very low cost so please ask what is

available when making reservations.

The hotel also offers electric wheelchairs and I use one every year. I pay

just under $100.00 for three days rental and find it a lifesaver because the

hotel is large.

The conference is an experience that is wonderful and I encourage all that

can to attend. We so look forward to seeing you there! It is such fun!
