Ginny Rose & Sandy Brown, 1990 Convention Co-planners
We
recently flew to LA to button down the details for the 1990 IJA
Convention at UCLA. All systems are GO for July 17-22! We're proud
to announce that our honored guest -- coming all the way from the
Lido in Paris--will be Kris Kremo. Kremo has been juggling at the
New Fujiya Hotel in Atami, Japan, but will begin at the Lido at the
end of February. In Los Angeles the IJA will give him the IJA Award
of Excellence, and he will perform at the Public Show at Royce Hall
on the campus.
In
accordance with UCLA's housing and registration regulations, all
jugglers residing in the residence halls must:
+
Pre-register by June 1 or you will NOT have a room for the week
+
Purchase the mandatory breakfastlunch-dinner meal plan
+
Choose from 3 options:
#1
arrive Tuesday-depart Sunday;
#2
arrive Tuesday-depart Friday;
#3
arrive Thursday-depart Sunday.
+
Adhere to UCLA's fail-safe building security measures.
Computerized magnetic access cards are used to gain entry into the
residence halls after 8:00 PM. During this time, only registered
guests are allowed into the
building.
+
Pay $4.00 per day per entry for parking. Since UCLA is an urban
university, parking is allowed only in controlled lots. Campers
and RV owners should inquire early for a list of off-campus
camping and RV parks (beautiful sites!)
As
always, there will be an activities package and day passes for those
jugglers who are staying off campus.
Your
round trip airfares and custom group tours are a phone call away
with ASUCLA Travel Services. A discounted air fare will be offered
by American Airlines.
Thanks
to the Southern California jugglers, the convention will be
true-blue California style. Go West, young jugglers! Go West! West
with the IJA into the '90s with our 43rd Annual Convention in Los
Angeles!

IJA
Membership Contest May Get You To Convention
Sign
up some new members forthe IJA and win yourself a trip to a
convention! The IJA has instituted a membership contest that
includes prizes of increasing values for members who sign up new
members.
The
first phase of the contest runs through May 15, 1990, and the second
phase through May 15, 1991. Prizes range in value from a free IJA
t-shirt to airfare (up to $500) plus all expenses paid at an IJA
convention for signing up 40 members.
Five
members wins an IJA t-shirt. Ten members wins a free year's
membership plus the t-shirt. For 20 members you win a 1990 or 1991
convention activities package (plus membership, plus t-shirt). For
30 members you get a convention package plan (includes room and
board), plus membership and t-shirt. To receive credit for signing
up a new member, the member
must list you as a referral on her or his membership form. You may
"cash in your chips" by May 15, 1990, if you want the
prize to apply to the LA convention. Or you may accumulate them
through May 15, 1991, to apply to the 1991 convention.
For
more information on the IJA membership contest, you may call IJA
secretary Tom Bennett.
