TEXAS CONFERENCE Don't forget the registration deadline for the Second Annual Texas Charter Conference is March 5th. (See attached) If you are driving into San Antonio, the Adam's Mark on the Riverwalk has a parking garage located at the corner of Soledad and Martin Street -- $8.00 per day. (Directions are attached) If you are flying in, it is cost effective to take a taxi to the hotel, which is only about five miles south of the airport. FYI -- last year we had to turn away 40 people because we maxed-out the hotel ballroom. If you have called the 800-444-ADAM number to make room reservations and found there are no longer rooms available, try calling the local number, 210-354-2800, there are a few rooms still available.
