OSA NY-NJ Chapter is taking the pride and privilege to host the event to welcome you all during July 2nd - 5th, 2009. This time you will meet with a smile of Oriyas in New York and New Jersey. Please come and be a part of it. We will ensure that you and your family are among friends, in a setting of "home away from home". As we all know, registration is the starting point of any convention, for your convenience, please register yourself and your family for the convention and book the hotel room in advance. Please remember, the registration fees do not include the cost of food and you have to book the hotel separately. Please send in your payment before June 7, 2009 to qualify for an early bird discount and also be eligible to be part of a draw for attractive prizes. FOOD: We will ensure that nothing comes in between you and a memorable cuisine experience during the convention.
