| Still Time for Sapsis Awards |
There is still time for students to register for Professional Development Workshops and be eligible for a Sapsis Rigging Professional Development Award. Any student member who signs up for the Stage Rigging or Just Do It workshops by the Early Registration deadline will be entered in a totally random drawing and may have the cost of the PDW rebated. So, Just Do It and learn about Stage Rigging and the generous folks at Sapsis Rigging may pick up the tab.

Make sure to register for the 2006 Annual Conference & Stage Expo by February 23 to receive the Early Registration rate. After that time, costs go up in all Conference categories. Monica L. Merritt, Conference Registration Coordinator, has received very positive response from members on the new format for Conference payment receipts generated from the office's improved database. Don't forget that registrations must be made online by midnight, February 23, 2006, faxed, or postmarked by that date to receive the lower prices.
