Hi All,
Posting this again and this one has the registration form. Sorry for the
omission in the last post. If the program below does not print out for you,

Shirley Powell
Once again in the year 2005 the Georgia Society of Cytology and the Georgia
Society for Histotechnology have joined to present a combined annual
symposium. This year we are not only repeating the joint venture but we are
also returning to a previous location – the Hyatt Regency Suites Perimeter
Northwest – Atlanta. The Hyatt features luxuriously decorated rooms, indoor
swimming pool and health club as well as an excellent on site restaurant.
The hotel offers complimentary shuttle service within a 5 mile radius and
covers a wide variety of restaurant and evening entertainment opportunities.
A block of rooms is reserved until February 18, 2005. Mention the Georgia
Society of Histotechnology to receive the single/double rate of $84.00,
triple/quad rate of $94.00 and Regency Suite rate of $375.00. Call
770-956-1234 or fax 770-916-1120 to make your reservations.
Joint Sessions of histology and cytology will be held featuring current
topics of common interest. Registration for your respective program gives
you access to the other society’s program at no additional charge. A special
treat this year will be the dinner theater with a scientific flavor.
Many scientific companies will be present to exhibit laboratory products and
services along with the most current products and technologies for both
cytology and histology. Following the Dinner Theater an opportunity of mix
and mingle with venders and colleagues in the exhibit area will be
available. Drawings for completed Vender Bingo as well as other drawings and
prizes will be held at this time. You must be present to win.
