INSTRUCTIONS FOR EVENT FORMS
Please read before submitting forms!
“Thank you” first of all for wanting to attend this function. It marks a historical milestone for this Council as America’s first and most elite grandmasters/ masters organization. It marks the 20th year of our existence! You can expect a great time with the seminars, exhibits, camaraderie with “real” martial artists and our awards banquet celebrating the awardees for 2012 along with our Anniversary! – GM Sanchez, Founder/ Executive Director In’tl – WHFSC
1. Room reservations under our discount room block of “CODE WHF” are AVAILABLE NOW with the DoubleTree Hilton Hotel in Orlando, Florida. Call 1-800-327-2110. The deadline is May 1, 2012 to reserve your room(s) under our discount room block for our June 1st – 2nd, 2012 20th Anniversary event of the WHFSC.
2. If you wish to just attend our International martial arts seminar symposium/ annual meeting and Hall of Fame banquet without being recognized for an award, you can simply just fill out the banquet form and return to us with your remittance. Otherwise, submit your nomination(s) for approval first then wait to receive an o.k. from us. If the nomination(s) have been approved we will send a pre-filled banquet form for you to submit your remittance with.
3. NOMINATIONS FOR AN AWARD - If you are nominating someone for an award or would like to be considered for an award, please use the nominations category list and nominations form to send in your nominations or you can simply write them down and send in (preferably by e-mail). ALL nominations will be screened to see that the individual qualifies for the award, so it would help to send in some references as well . Your nominees will be contacted by e-mail once they are approved and will then be instructed to submit their fees for the banquet.
4. Unfortunately, since the hotel bases its charges for the awards dinner banquet on the number of seats filled and not on whether the individual is an adult or child, there is no discount for children attending our event.
5. If you would like to go to the seminars only and not attend the annual meeting or awards banquet– just fill out the seminar application form and remit payment per the instructions on the form.
6. If you will be flying in to this event, we would suggest checking on-line at http://www.fly.com for flight savings.
7. If you are from a foreign country and need a letter to be sent to the U.S. Embassy in your area to come to the United States, let us know a few months ahead of your planned meeting with the U.S. Embassy, so we can make sure the letter arrives in time before you have your interview. Give us the mail address of the U.S. Embassy to send the letter to along with a contact to address it to, if you have someone the letter should specifically go to. Please also remember to give us your complete name, personal address and passport number. The letter will be sent by U.S. Mail only and not by courier service.
8. Please check with us regarding theme park discount ticket availability.
9. If you cannot be at the event and would like to accept your award, let us know this by noting on your banquet form that you cannot be present and would like your award mailed to you (you can also e-mail or phone in if it is a last minute cancellation). There is no discount out of fairness to those who will be attending in person and allow 2 to 3 weeks for receipt (foreign destinations may take longer).
