And the winner is.....Hoofprints in the Sand!
Submitted by Susan Van Dyke from The Washington Thoroughbred.

The 2011 San Diego Seminar will be held at the Catamaran Resort Hotel & Spa (www.catamaranresort.com) on Mission Bay in San Diego, California on June 16-18.  A web link for making room reservations will soon be available. The standard garden room rate is $159 single/double, a great deal compared to the published $299 summer rate.

NEW for 2011! Attendees can expect two and a half days of sessions included in the registraton fee. Watch your mail to take a survey on possible topics. Your input is important in developing a program that will make San Diego not only a must-see destination, but also a must-go for AHP members.

Comment from Lexington Seminar Attendee:
"This was an outstanding learning experience. I feel as if these annual events keep getting better and better, to be honest. This years' seminar was designed to help us venture into the new world of "communications media" and I know I left with valuable tools and ideas."
