SMART Recovery will host its 2010 Annual Gathering & Convention from October 15 through October 17, 2010 at Humphrey’s Half Moon Inn & Suites. Registration and room reservations begin now and continue until September 20, 2010.

Volunteers, friends and family members of SMART Recovery will enjoy:

• The opportunity to personally meet one another
• The ability to network with one another
• The chance to share successes and even failures
• The occasion to help determine ways forward for the organization
• The chance feel part of an international community of people helping one another

The event’s meeting sessions range from strategic planning sessions to informational sessions. Topics range from using social networking to promote your meeting, to tool training, as well as reports by study groups. There’s something here to interest everyone!

For a break in the action, what better than San Diego’s salty bay breezes, sparkling waves and matchless natural beauty for a cruise? Enjoy great views of the U.S.S. Midway, Coronado Bridge, Cabrillo National Monument, and the California sea lions that splash just off Shelter Island. The shuttle will depart promptly from the hotel at 2:00 PM on Friday to Hornblower’s Dock for the narrated two-hour cruise of San Diego harbor. Those attending should indicate on their registration forms that they intend to join the harbor tour. The cost of the harbor tour is $25 per person.

SMART Recovery is proud to offer a number of scholarships to help defray travel, registration and lodging costs for those who would otherwise be unable to participate. For more information and to apply, see the link below.

SMART Recovery anticipates this year’s Annual Gathering & Convention will prove to be the best ever, with plenty of education, conversation, and just plain fun for everyone!
