Ways to Save

Planning a vacation or a trip to the Kiwanis International convention can add up. To ease the wear-and-tear on your wallet, try some of these tips:

• Take advantage of Early-Bird Registration by registering for the 2008 Kiwanis International Convention before April 25.
• Pack a lunch. If you’re driving to Orlando, save money—and time—by eating meals at a picnic bench, at a rest stop,
   or inside your car.
• Book your convention hotel room through Kiwanis to secure major discounts at first-class hotels.
• Bring refillable water bottles. You’ll save on drinks at the parks if you simply bring your own water bottle.
   It’ll come in handy during the convention as well!
• If you’re driving, bring a cooler stocked with goodies—and don’t forget the loaf of bread and peanut butter.
• Buy the multi-day, multi-park passes if you plan to go to the famous parks in Orlando.
• Bring your own stroller/wheelchair. If you’re driving, and space is not an issue, bring your own wheelchair or stroller
   for the kiddies. Renting one at the parks can cost as much as $10 a day.
• NEVER head to Florida—or any vacation, for that matter—without coupons. It’s simple to find cost-saving coupons at
   almost any Florida Web site. Find special attraction discount tickets through the Orange County Convention Center.

Best one-liners to tell your boss/kids/mail carrier/anyone who will listen about the 2008 Kiwanis International Convention in Orlando, Florida:

• Of course there is business to be done in Orlando! What? You think everyone dresses up in a mouse suit every day?
• I just retired from work, and all the kids are out of the house (finally)! Guess what I’m going to do? I’m going to
   Disney World!
• I’m going to miss work for about a week in June. I’m meeting Bob Newhart for a few hours in Orlando. No, seriously.
