With the big changes in mandatory continuing education coming to the field of veterinary technology, NYSAVT has decided to put on an Annual Spring Seminar unlike any we have had in the past. We have completely revamped Spring Seminar this year, and have reserved the beautiful property of Beaver Hollow for the location.
The Program
The 2011 Spring Seminar will be a submersion in education and we have received a good response regarding the site and program. With 2011 NYSAVT-approved courses counting toward the new mandatory CE requirement, we expect quite a turn out. Last year's Seminar drew over one hundred and fifty attendees, speakers and exhibitors; we are hoping to top that this coming year. With that in mind, NYSAVT strongly recommends that members reserve their rooms starting now to ensure their place at Spring Seminar. Overnight guest rooms are only $100 for single or double occupancy. Call Beaver Hollow at 800-964-7903 and mention you are reserving for the NYSAVT 2011 Spring Seminar.
We are putting together a truly amazing program, with experts in their fields and leaders in veterinary medicine presenting. We expect the program to include courses on acupuncture and holistic medicine, reproduction and conservation programs at the Buffalo Zoo, shelter medicine, practice management, a backstage animal care tour of Hidden Valley Animal Adventure, and rehabilitation, physical therapy, orthopedics and more.
Beaver Hollow Conference Center
Beaver Hollow is located at 1083 Pit Road in Java Center, NY, between Rochester and Buffalo. The conference center and resort draws its beauty from the surrounding nature. Nestled on a 300-acre natural wonderland and bejeweled with its own private lake, Beaver Hollow features a perfect balance of technology and nature.
You will enjoy authentic Farm to Table cuisine, accommodations in cozy cottages, unlimited recreation (during your time not in class of course!) and Beaver Hollow’s legendary nightly bonfires with s’mores. And the cost is comparable to years past!
A low-cost family getaway
Bring your family with you to enjoy the property and surrounding area while you get ahead on mandatory CE! There are so many things to do on the property (all complimentary), including rowboats, nature trails and hiking, fishing, tennis, basketball and bocce courts, pool tables, Wii Sports and so much more.
Area attractions include Crag Burn, a year round, picturesque golf destination with an 18-hole golf course, Historic East Aurora with its nostalgic five-and-dime store, ice cream parlor and big screen theatre with classic neon marquee, all of which compliment the meticulously preserved homes along Main Street. Hidden Valley Animal Adventure is just minutes away providing full tours of animals in a safari-like setting as well as real farm tours with methane digesters. And you won’t want to miss the Wind Turbine Farm!
Beaver Hollow will also accommodate our extended NYSAVT family, with separate meal offerings (for spouses and kids that don't want to sit through an Awards banquet with speaker!) and movie nights for kids and adults.
