The First Annual AWSDA Seminar
August 21 - August 24, 1991


        We are happy to announce the First Annual American
Women's Self Defense Association Seminar!  This seminar will be
open to all active AWSDA members, (both male and female) as well
as female non-members and will be held Wednesday, August 21
(registration and welcoming) through Saturday, August 24 (ending
with a formal buffet dinner.)  All AWSDA members are encouraged
to attend and share their expertise. The Radisson Hotel Islandia
in Hauppauge, NY will be the 1991 Seminar Location and the $79.00
room fee per night includes accommodations and a continental
breakfast; health club, indoor pool and nightly entertainment are
also available on the premises.  (We recommend doubling or
tripling up on rooms to keep costs down.  * Call AWSDA (see
below) if you need a roommate). 

        The seminar fee for AWSDA members is only $200.00 for
advance registration April 1 - May 31, or $225.00 for
registration up to Aug 20, 1991.  There is a $35.00 surcharge for
non-members.  This fee includes all training, both hands-on and
lectures, as well as Saturday night's concluding formal banquet. 
Call AWSDA headquarters (see below), or e-mail your postal
address to me (eileen@camb.com) for your registration form and
get ready for an intense training experience.  Because AWSDA is a
non-profit organization, all proceeds from the seminar will go
directly to AWSDA to help support our goals of educating the
public about rape prevention and female self defense. 

        If you have any questions, ideas or suggestions, please
call AWSDA headquarters (see below) or e-mail me
(eileen@camb.com). All work for the seminar is done on a
volunteer basis and any assistance would be greatly appreciated! 

        -- ATTENTION INSTRUCTORS!!!! --  We are currently
accepting proposals from instructors interested in conducting
lectures or training blocks.  Please submit your proposal, along
with course outline and a brief biography to AWSDA Headquarters,
Attention: Seminar Training Director.  Don't forget to include

instructors will not pay seminar fee, but will be responsible for
their own traveling and room expenses).
