ANNOUNCING ON-SITE CHILD CARE AT PLANT BIOLOGY 2010!
New Attendee Benefit Intended to Facilitate Parental Participation in Montrèal.

PRE-REGISTER HERE!

Plant Biology 2010 is very pleased to announce a new attendee benefit at the meeting: on-site child care for children, from infants through 13 years of age. Rates are subsidized by the ASPB Women in Plant Biology Committee for the first 20 children in each time slot.

Plant Biology has contracted with Kimberlee Care, a bonded, fully accredited child care service with 25 years' experience in providing services for corporations and meetings.  Kimberlee Care’s staff members are certified child care specialists, and the company is fully insured. Most staff members are bilingual (English and French).  Kimberlee Care will set up a facility right in the Palais des congrès (the Montrèal convention centre) in rooms adjacent to the rooms that will be used for the annual meeting.  They will bring all supplies for fun, engaging activities for your children while you attend scientific sessions and networking events.  Kimberlee Care will provide arts, crafts, puzzles, and other games, as well as a rest area with pillows and blankets. For older children, there will be a wide selection of board games, magazines, and other age-appropriate activities.  Kimberlee Care will be open during the opening awards session, the opening mixer, all major and minisymposia sessions and selected poster sessions. Kimberlee Care will not be open during the events where children are allowed including the evening poster session and the final party.

You must pre-register for this service (PRE-REGISTER HERE!).  Sign up for only one or for multiple time slots.

Refunds/Changes: Requests for cancellation refunds will be honored only if received, in writing, before May 7, 2010. Changes will be based on time slot availability.
