The HILTON SINGER ISLAND OCEANFRONT RESORT is an excellent facility with all the amenities of a first class hotel located near beautiful West Palm Beach and overlooks the Atlantic Ocean . Most of the resort's hotel rooms have balconies with Ocean Views and many also have island views of the intra-coastal waterway.  The rooms feature private voice mail, in room coffee makers with complimentary coffee, a refrigerator, hair dryer and in room movies. For the business minded, guestrooms have WIFI internet connection service and a work desk with ergonomically designed executive chairs. A business center is also located in the lobby. The hotel features one of the best restaurants on the island and serves fresh island ingredients prepared with a Caribbean flair. Recreational amenities include a heated swimming pool, wide sandy beaches, jogging trail and fitness center. Kid friendly activities include a children's pool and a vacation station activities program. Golf, tennis and a variety of water sports are available nearby. All Palm Beach area attractions are within an easy drive of the hotel including the boutiques and galleries of City Place and Worth Avenue and the nightlife of Clematis Street. The hotel provides a complimentary shuttle to local shopping and dining spots. World-class service, new surroundings and an oceanside setting like no other will welcome those TER members and their guests attending this year’s convention.  Check out this facility by going to the hotel’s web page at www.hilton.com and search for the Singer Island Oceanfront Resort facility.

 Included in your $450.00 per couple ($225.00 for singles) ADVANCE REGISTRATION FEE are the opening night dinner with exciting program; continental breakfast with the two CLE sessions and business meeting; a closing dinner with an entertaining program; and possibly a New Year’s Eve Reception held in our hospitality suite.  As always, the hospitality suite will be open every night for snacks and informal get-togethers. Complete details and convention updates will be posted on the TER web page, www.ter-law.org.

Our CLE Program this year will be presented by Robert J. Reinstein, former Dean of Students at Temple University Beasley School of Law. Details concerning the CLE Seminars are in the planning stage and will be posted at the TER website and through emails to the membership. We will be applying for six (6) hours of CLE accreditation for these seminars in the states of Pennsylvania, Florida, New York, Ohio and Illinois. Attendance and reporting fees for the CLE Seminars are included in the convention registration fee. We will also be planning “out of hotel” events similar to those of past conventions on an optional basis for convention attendees.  Again, check the TER website for continuing information and updates.
