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
American Society of Internal Arts



**********************

Early-bird discount for this year's 29th annual Zhang San Feng
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,
free-style push hands room all day, wine and cheese (and snacks!)
party Thursday Evening, Drumming Circle and interactive Tribal-Style
Belly Dancing Saturday night, and free social activities and free
refreshments EVERY night!

*** 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,
