I am a devout believer in the power of viral marketing, so everyone get out there and post links to the ACA 2010 website wherever you can. Here are some banners and a button free to use. If you copy the html text and paste it wherever you want it, the ad should appear. Html code like this will generally not work in a forum post, unless you are a much better html code wizard than I will ever be. Some forums will let you use html code for avatars or in your signature though...

Would you like a reduced-rate subscription to TFH magazine? TFH is offering a $9.99 digital subscription (reg. $13.95) to all ACA 2010 registrants. When you register for the convention you will receive a link to go to and a code to use to get your discounted rate.

Make the ACA 2010 a family trip! We have added the option of registering a youth (ages 14 and under) for the convention for the reduced rate of $25. A youth registration, and all other items for the youth, must be purchased with an adult's registration (or by an adult already registered). This includes show entries. Kids are not required to be registered to go to the meals with their parent/guardian. We have also added the ACA Junior Membership to the ACA membership choices on the convention website. A junior membership is for young members under 18 (or still in high school) and costs $15. Both of these new option are purchasable on the www.aca2010.com/register page of the ACA 2010 website.

Edit from Ted-----Options for a youth registration and the ACA junior membership have been added for teens between 14 - 18 who want to attend the convention on their own. Children under 14 are welcome with their parent/guardian without a registration. (edit by jpk)

How do you edit posts in here? I have a correction on the youth registration announcement:

Here are some links to two down-loadable documents that can help promote the convention. The single-page flier can be used as a quick handout at a club event or as an advertisement printed in a club journal. The pamphlet is a trifold pamphlet that includes paper registration forms and information. Feel free to use them at your club events or to distribute them to people who may want them... with our sincere thanks for doing so!

Here is a link to the new writable PDF show entry form. Thank you Rick Borstein for creating this very useful form. Show entries are due July 1, 2010. Entries are purchased with convention registration at www.aca2010.com, and this entry form is mailed separately. You can also send it with your registration if you are mailing it all in with a check. Do not forget that for every five entries you can enter a sixth fish at no extra charge.

Hello Everyone!

Hotel rooms are almost sold out for Friday and Saturday. If you call to reserve one and they are all gone, ask to be put on a waiting list. There are a few people who have long-standing reservations who are not coming to the convention, and they will get around to cancelling their reservation eventually.

The last day for ordering tee-shirts, show entries and reserving rental tanks is July 1. You can still register for the convention, buy tickets for the meals and tours, and order used equipment (until they are sold out) right up until the start of the convention.

See you in Milwaukee!

20 days to go!

Pre-registration, ACA memberships and banquet, brat dinner and tour tickets are still available for purchase on the www.aca2010.com website until the week before the convention. Shirt, show entry and rental tank sales have been stopped. All vendor options (except rental tanks) are still available.

The Greater Chicago Cichlid Association has set up a section in their Classifieds for ACA 2010. You do not need to refister to see fish that sellers can bring for delivery at the convention, but you do need to register to post an ad for fish that you can bring for sale. Here are the links:

http://www.gcca.net/classifieds
http://www.gcca.net/classifieds_faq.html

Sellers are also posting fish for convention delivery on the ACA Trading Post forum: http://www.cichlid.org/forums/index.php?

See you in Milwaukee!

The Olympia Resort is sold out for Saturday night, so if you are still planning on coming and staying at the convention hotel you should:

1) Go ahead and register for the other nights you want to be at the convention and get your name on the waiting list for Saturday night. Rooms will open up!

2) Make a reservation for the night at the overflow hotel:

Hilton Garden Inn Oconomowoc
1443 Pabst Farm Circle, Oconomowoc, Wisconsin, USA 53066
Tel: 1-262-200-2222

When you call tell the clerk the date you want the room and that it is for the 'American Cichlid Association Convention'. The overflow hotel's rate for Saturday night is a little more than the Olympia's convention rate... but it is the only other hotel close by the convention. Reservations for the overflow must be made by July 10 to get the rate. So register for the room, and if you get a room from the waiting list at the Olympia cancel the room at the Hilton.

It is a GOOD thing the hotel is sold out! Lot's of people are coming to the show!
