Important Information for Attendees  Print  

Refrigeration: The room refrigerators are completely stocked each morning with beverages provided by the hotel.  For those needing additional space for medicine and/or food, an additional refrigerator will need to be reserved at the time of the hotel booking.  The fee is $35.00 for the duration of your stay.

Boarding Passes: Each family will want to sign up for the Boarding Pass rewards card through Station Casinos (Red Rock Casino).  You can use your Boarding Pass for a 10% discount at the gift shop, plus a discount when using your card at the Feast (buffet). If you do decide to gamble in the casino, you will earn additional rewards. Please visit the website, www.redrocklasvegas.com, to sign-up and for additional information. We will have a link on the website as the conference approaces.  Families can sign up online, and, when they arrive, they will need to get their Boarding Passes upon check-in.

Share the Care: One of the sessions during the conference is "Share the Care".  The author, Sheila Warnock, will present what "Share the Care" is about and also how to utilize the handbook.  You will need to purchase the Handbook prior to coming to the conference so that you have it with you and ready to use!  It can be purchased from www.sharethecare.org.  Please mention that you are purchasing the Handbook for the Chromosome 18 Conference for a special rate!

A quote from "Share the Care":

You've never been a caregiver.
Someone you love has a serious illness.
They turn to you.
You don't know what to do.

You've been taking care of someone
seriously ill for a long time.
You're burning out.
You can't do it alone anymore.
