Announcing Celebrate Romance 2009!

Next year’s conference will be held in Portland, Oregon, from Friday February 27th to Sunday March 1st. The registration fee will be the same as it was this year, $150.

Leanne has made arrangements for us at a beautiful hotel in the heart of downtown Portland, The Benson. It’s a gorgeous hotel, originally built in 1912, with all kinds of modern amenities. The hotel rate is $129 per night, which is about the same as it was this year.

You can check out the hotel at their web site: http://www.bensonhotel.com/

I’m really looking forward to it - I’ve never been to Portland before and I can’t wait until the end of February! Only ten months away!

The sad news… CR is over for another year. But there is good news - we’ve already started planning Celebrate Romance 2009! We’re still working out the details, but we are looking at several cities in the West and Northwest, and dates in March. (It may be a bit chilly, but CR is always hot…)

If you want to keep up on all the latest CR news, please sign up for our newsletter. You’ll be the first to hear about next year’s plans.  Of course, it will be announced here as well.  See you in 2009!
