ACCESSIBILITY

In support of the Americans with Disabilities Act, the AAG and its contracted facilities will accommodate reasonable requests for accessibility to the extent possible. Individuals requiring special accommodations are asked to make their speci c needs known to the AAG or to the facilities.

ALCOHOL

The AAG expects all attendees to act responsibly when con- suming alcoholic beverages. Consumption of alcohol by those under the age of 21 is prohibited.

BAGS/COATS/PACKAGES

For security reasons, the AAG is unable to hold attendees' bags, packages, briefcases, coats, laptops or other personal items at registration. For your own safety and the security of your belongings, we strongly recommend checking these items at a hotel bell stand.

CHILD CARE

The AAG is pleased to announce that it is launching new, full-time, professionally managed and staffed onsite childcare services for the 2015 Annual Meeting in Chicago, at the Hyatt

Hotel from April 21 to 25, 2015.

The onsite childcare services will be provided by Accent on Children's Arrangements, Inc. (ACCENT) www.accentoca. com, which will design and run a children's program called

CAMP AAG.

CAMP AAG will offer age-appropriate activities for children ranging from 6 months to 12 years of age (separated into age- appropriate groups) including curriculum-enriched, hands-on, creative activities, arts & crafts projects, active games, and more. ACCENT will staff CAMP AAG with teacher professional child care providers who have completed ACCENT's special- ized training program. In addition, ACCENT's onsite supervi- sors are CPR and Pediatric First Aid certi ed.

CAMP AAG will run for all

ve Annual Meeting days as follows:

Tuesday, April 21 7:30 a.m. - 8:00 p.m.

Wednesday, April 22 7:30 a.m. - 7:30 p.m.

Thursday, April 23 7:30 a.m. - 7:30 p.m.

Friday, April 24 7:30 a.m. - 7:30 p.m.

Saturday, April 25 7:30 a.m. - 6:00 p.m.

The AAG will cover all of the very substantial overall costs to hire ACCENT to establish and staff the onsite childcare facil- ity, and will also subsidize their hourly childcare rates. AC-

CENT's standard hourly rate for childcare is $12 for children ages 6 months to 3 years and $10 for children ages 3 to 12 years. In addition to paying for all of the facility and staf ng

costs, the AAG will also subsidize the hourly rates by 50% for this rst year. The AAG is making this investment to respond to the needs and requests shared with us over the past years. We look forward to making it possible for more families to enjoy their time at the AAG Annual Meetings. We are pleased to provide this new childcare facility this year in Chicago.
