First, when making selections using a computer, you will want to arrow to the selection in forms mode if you’re using Jaws, then press enter to select, and then tab away from it. You can arrow back up the page to confirm your selections. Second, if you don’t follow the path to the checkout page after you submit the initial form, you will receive an email reminder after 24 hours to make payment. This should cut down on confusion as to whether your payment went through the first time or whether it went to the right page. Third, for the Friday evening meal, even though the cost is covered, please indicate whether you plan to attend that function as we still need to get a meal count. Finally, if you are registering more than one person, you will need to submit separate forms for each registration as the instructions indicate. Please contact me or Cindy Ray if there are any questions on the online forms. <o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>It’s time for another hotel reminder! You have until Friday, August 19, to reserve your hotel room for convention at our convention rates. This date will not be extended!
