Price is $224 for members, $249 for non-members and includes most meals. Price does not include hotel or travel. Rooms are available at the Menger Hotel at a discounted rate of $110 per night. 
If you've not visited San Antonio, this is the perfect opportunity. The weather will be nice and they are so many historical sites to visit. Plan to stay an extra day or two if you can and take a cruise on the canal and shop at Market Center. Visit the bar in the hotel where Teddy Roosevelt and his Rough Riders spent time and tour the hallway's historic memorabilia.

EPIC is also accepting advertising opportunities and sponsorships. Contact Susan Brooksfor more information.
