Hello Everyone!

On Wednesday January 17th I will be in my office from 7pm-9pm for anyone wishing to register for the convention. The number is 1-800-387-3456. You can register through the day Monday to Friday, but on the 17th you can also do it between 7pm and 9pm.

The Convention is March 10-11 in Niagara Falls. There will be a hospitality gathering on the 9th.

Take care!

Appears to rent a car in order to get to the convention from Buffalo AP will run me about $146.00 for the 4 days. I hear that the Airport is fairly close, does a taxi or bus cost that much? Additionally I am not familiar with taking the rental out of the country rules either. Help Here?

Do you still need passports? Thank you Lisa

The way I understand it is you need a passport if you are flying in or out of Canada. To cross at the border, you'll only need a copy of your birth certificate and a photo I.D. This will probably change next year!

I looked up some info for CWPG last week, here it is:

January 23rd, 2007 you need a passport for air travel to and from the US.

As of January 1st, 2008 you need a passport to go to and from the US via land or sea, I.E. driving accross the border.
>
> Right now...it's basically the same as it has been. They recommend having an ID like a driver's license, ID card, or expired passport, AND having a birth certificate... not the cutesy one with your footprints, the official one from the courthouse with the raised seal and signature. However, the info notes that having a passport is still the best documentation you can have, and shows you are a US citizen without a doubt.
>
Passports take 6-8 weeks to process - get the form from the courthouse. Mine was 97 bucks total when I got it, but it lasts for 10 years.
