We just started selling Gala tickets a couple weeks ago so there are still
many available but this is an event that
often sells out and this year we have a capacity of only 175. If you are
interested in coming don't hesitate in
ordering a ticket.
Tickets are $20 for VRT members and $25 for non-members. I can accept
checks, money orders, or credit card orders
in advance. If there are tickets still unsold at the time of the
conference, they may be purchased at the VRT table in
the Convention Center. The deadline for sending me an order is June 15.
My mailing address is: Chris Lewis, Media Services Dept., American
University Library, 4400 Massachusetts Ave. NW,
Washington, DC 20016-8046
Make checks payable to American Library Association.
If you would like to order via e-mail. I will need to know the kind of
credit card you wish to use, the card #, the expiration date,
your name as it appears on the card, the number of tickets, and the total
cost.
