Hurry! Discounts extended while availability lasts!

Managing Editor's Note: Our friends (and sponsor) at ARI have opened registration for the Fall ARI/DAN! conference at the luxurious, but affordable Renaissance Long Beach and the Westin Long Beach. In keeping with the spirit of Dr. Rimland, who knew the Moms and Dads needed support, ARI is offering free volunteer slots and Angel Rates for families who otherwise would not be able to attend. Don't assume you can't attend due to price until you check out all your options!  (The early-bird special has been extended through September 23rd and the hotels have extended their $139 offer while rooms last.)  I can't tell you what an emotional boost it is to meet other parents at conferences. It's a LOT cheaper than mental health therapy. ;) KS

'Nutrition Friday' in Long Beach: Parents and caregivers are invited to join the professionals during the second day of the Level 1 Nutrition Seminar - Friday, Oct. 8th. (Thursday Nutrition Seminar sessions are reserved exclusively for licensed healthcare professionals.)
