If you know Filipino Americans and friends from Guam who would like to join us at our Authors’ Reception (check out our description under Author’s Reception).

· 10/20/2019 This Conference will be more than “business as usual.” Consider registering as an “Early Bird” before the registration fee increases on February 16, 2020. Make your reservations at the resort; you’ll want to be where the “action” is. Keep in mind the discount cost of the rooms and dividing the room cost among four people vs. the price of a car rental, parking fees, driving concerns if you are a party person. Also, Want to freshen up after the beach and exercise or take a quick nap? Just head up to your resort room. Convenient.
