airport is located 8 miles north of the hotel (about a 15-minute

and public transportation are also available at the airport. For
those of you driving to San Antonio, you can get there via I-35 or
I-10.
Hotel Reservations
The meeting will take place at the Hyatt Regency Riverwalk.
This hotel is located in the heart of downtown San Antonio across
the street from the Alamo, and right out the back door of the
hotel is the Riverwalk - a mecca for shopping, dining, and
nightlife. This year’s meeting promises something for everyone.

group rate. Book early to ensure that you can get a room at the
Hyatt Regency Riverwalk. NOTE: ROOMS MAY STILL BE

Spouse Program
This year’s meeting coincides with San Antonio’s Fiesta - a
shopping, arts, and cultural extravaganza. In order to give
spouses and companions the opportunity to experience Fiesta and
its many events, the 2009 program will be two half-days, allowing
the afternoons for shopping or exploring on your own, or perhaps
relaxing and pampering yourself. On Monday, participants will be
given a guided tour of the San Antonio river on a private boat,
followed by a visit to the historic Guenther House for lunch and
to view the many gorgeous homes of the King William District. On
the way back, we’ll go by many of San Antonio’s most famous
landmarks, returning with plenty of time to shop or relax, then
get ready for the Banquet that evening. On Tuesday morning, we’ll
begin with a brunch, starring a very special guest from San
Antonio’s historic past. Afterward, we’ll visit the most famous
and most photographed mission of all, the Mission San Jose, where
we will walk the grounds and learn the history of the native
American Indians and Spanish Missionaries. We’ll drive back into
town (a funny thing to call the 8th largest city in the U.S.!) and
visit the #1 tourist attraction in the State of Texas - The Alamo.
You’ll be free to wander the area and learn about the battle that
was fought there. Linger as long as you like and make your way
back to the hotel at your leisure - after all, it’s just across
the street! We know you’ll have a wonderful time, so we cannot
wait to see you there.
