[NLRS] Central States VHF Society 2022 online event registration is now open!

[Jon Platt]

Hello NLRS land

Registration for this years Central States VHF Society conference located in La Crosse, WI, is now open.  Please see the note from this years CSVHFS President, W9FZ, below.   La Crosse is about a three hour drive from the Twin Cities and the conference location represents a great opportunity for those of us who live here in the Upper Midwest to attend.  I can tell you with high confidence that it will several years before this conference is as close as this to us.   If you have never attended a CSVHFS Conference before this is the one you want to go for.   

73, Jon

Hello CSVHFS members,
  
Thank you for your patience!  I hope most of you made your plans earlier and have booked hotel rooms.  (More on hotel rooms in another email.)
  
Now you can look over the activities and meals and make your selections.  Or if not attending, you can pay annual CSVHFS dues and order a Proceedings to be mailed out.
  
Please go to https://2022.csvhfs.org .  There is a tab for “Registration”.  I think it would be best if you used a laptop/desktop to go through the online registration.  
  
Clicking on the “Registration” tab will take you to a long page with many choices.  If you are just paying your annual dues and, perhaps, buying a proceedings to be mailed out, you will scroll all the way to the bottom and make your selections there.
  
An alternative to the online registration process is to printout the downloadable .pdf of a Registration Form.  Fill it out and mail it in and we will get your choices and selections that way.  
  
We know that some of you can’t attend due to ongoing COVID health concerns.  We understand completely.  We hope that next year’s (2023) conference will work for you.  For the rest of you, we are glad that you are interested in trekking to La Crosse, WI to see your VHF friends and experience the CSVHFS conference.
  
If you register and then later have changes, rather than register again, just email us at registration at csvhfs.org and we will work with you in plain English to update your record and work with you to resolve any money issues.
  
You do NOT have to pay via PayPal.  You may if you wish. But mailed-in checks are just fine (as long as mailed by July 15th).  After July 15th, please don’t mail a check.  Either use PayPal or bring a check to the registration table at the event.  Still go through the online process so we can capture your meal and event choices.
  
PLEASE consider arriving early enough on Thursday to join us for the Thursday night Paddleboat Dinner Cruise on the La Crosse Queen.  Yes, it is $55.  You get either Prime Rib or Baked Chicken and you get a beautiful view of La Crosse and the Mississippi River Valley.  Further, you get to socialize with all of the other attendees.  This will be a fun and entertaining activity—be a part of it!
  
CSVHFS has been in “beta-test” for this registration for the past 3 days.  The following hams found our link and went ahead and registered.  We thank them for helping us with the beta test.  We have their data and they DO NOT need to register again.  Thank you to: KC0ZRY, N0AKC, W0VG, WB0DBS, WA0VPJ, K0VG, and AI0Z.
  
We look forward to you making your selections for this year’s conference in La Crosse!

2022 President Central States VHF Society
