Early-bird discount extended for Zhang San Feng Festival

[Guest guest]

Greetings everyone,

 

Due to some problems we experienced with our on-line store the first

couple weeks in March that may have prevented some people from being

able to register on-line, we have decided to extend the early-bird

discount to April 15. This means you still have time to take

advantage of the extra savings. In fact, registration for the full

four days of the Zhang San Feng Festival with both member discount

and early-bird discount breaks down to about $55.00 a day. Prices

will increase beginning April 16 so don't wait!

For more details on all our events please see below or you can visit

our website at www.americansocietyofinternalarts.org. Thanks all.

 

Sincerely,

 

Jim Donnelly

Festival ends April 15th!

 

Don't wait until it's too late. The price of attendance goes up

beginning April 16th, so register now and $ave!!

 

Just imagine, with your ASIA member discount and the Early Bird

Discount, if you register for the 4 full days of this year's Festival

at $220, it comes out to LESS than $60 PER DAY - about the price of a

massage or dinner at a

nice restaurant. Once registered, you can go to ANY and ALL the

workshops you want, anytime you want, ALL weekend long!

 

We're really excited to guarantee you a GREAT experience at the

Festival - each day is jam-packed with 90-minutes long workshops,

*** Oh, almost forget... whew! Are you in the health and wellness

industry?

Or holistic business of any kind?

This year we are offering top-notch business services for you at

our " Teacher's Conference " June 4-6. You can use the Early Bird

Discount for that as well. This is not a typical " sit around and

talk about teaching " conference. Instead, we're bringing you

marketing, writing, photography, teaching, accounting and law experts

to share their wisdom and secrets to supercharge your career. There

will be question and answer sessions to address all those things you

ever wanted to know and never could afford to get the expert advice

on. You know how some top-notch marketing consultants, magazine

editors, attorneys, and CPA's charge WELL over $100 per hour? Well,

we've been able to get them for you, all weekend for only $120 at the

ASIA and Early Bird price! NOT kidding.

The price will go up next year, so take this opportunity that you

know you'll never be able to get again, anywhere else. It also makes

a GREAT GIFT for a teacher, or someone you care about who needs these

kinds of services. Refreshments will be served, and you'll get to

network and mingle in a super-friendly setting. >>>Plus, you can ask

our CPA how to write off the costs to attend this conference as a

business expense - it's like going for

free! :-)

 

** The American Heart Association will CERTIFY you in 1st Aid and/or

CPR June 6 & 7 if you register no later than MAY 15. This is CRUCIAL

for anyone who works with other people, especially for teachers and

bodyworkers.

 

OK! Please feel free to contact us with any questions! We look

forward to seeing everyone enjoy themselves again at the Festival...

and the new ASIA Workshops!!!

 

(Please share this info with your fellow friends and classmates who

might not have email and therefore not receive this very important

update).

 

Yours truly,
