During the IAJGS Board meeting in Philadelphia on April 2 & 3, the drawing
was held to determine the winner of a free hotel room during the Conference.

We are very pleased to announce that the winner is Allan Halberstadt >from
Thornhill, Ontario, Canada. This is the second straight year that a Canadian
has won this valuable prize.

We want to thank all who registered for both the Conference and the Hotel
before March 28 and therefore qualified for this drawing. We also want to
thank the Sheraton Philadelphia City Center Hotel for contributing this
great prize.

Early bird registration for the Conference ends April 30. Register now and
