The early bird gets the varicose vein (err- worm, metaphorically speaking)

Have you thought about attending an Early Morning Tutorial at the SVU Annual Conference this year?  It's not too late to sign up for one!  Don't let the words "Early Morning" scare you off...you'd get the freshest coffee!  I'm from Seattle, so I ought to know that coffee is not so good after it's been sitting around for a while.  These sessions are an exceptional way to earn extra credits with intensive instruction in specific areas, with the bonus of one-on-one interaction with the expert giving the lecture!! 

Just look at all of these options:

Sessions at 7:00am - 8:15am  Each Day
