Hello,
There are three days left until Jen Grisanti Consultancy presents Storywise Seminar at UCLA on Saturday, September 20, 2008 from 8:30 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. Registration will be from 8:30 a.m. - 9:15 a.m. The seminar begins at 9:15 a.m.
I've received many calls and e-mails asking if there's still time to sign up. I want to assure folks that, yes, there's definitely still time and that you can even register at the event itself; and any special rates will still apply.
Alternatively, you can still sign up pre-event through Pay Pal. Also, if you qualify for a discounted rate, go to Pay Pal directly; then enter my name and the amount of your discounted rate instead of going through the button on my website, which is set at the regular rate of $215.00 if you order your spot before 9/17/08 and $235.00 if it's after. On the day of the event we will only be accepting cash or personal checks.

1. Take Westwood Blvd. entrance into UCLA. Cross Charles E. Young Drive South and continue 1/2 block. Turn LEFT into Lot 8 and take the ram to the roof level.
2. Pick up your complimentary parking permit for Lot 8 from the attendant at the gate. Affix your parking permit to your windshield so that the documentation faces outward.
3. Park on the NORTH side of the lot and use the pedestrian overpass to cross Strathmore Drive.
