LPA District 8 cordially invites you to the Spring 2024 Regional, set to take place at the Drury Plaza Hotel North Stone Oak in San Antonio, TX, from May 10 -12th, 2024.
The event will commence on Friday evening with a family game night, featuring Bunco and a Cornhole Tournament. If you're unfamiliar with these games, don't worry—we'll teach you! On Saturday morning, we invite you to our General Assembly to hear about the latest developments within our District and the National Committee. The morning will also feature our second LP Life Panel, offering a chance to meet members and hear about their diverse experiences and viewpoints, with an opportunity for questions. For the children, there will be a designated room with games and an Arts & Crafts session to create gifts for their wonderful parents or loved ones. Meanwhile, teens and young adults can look forward to a Main Event Bowling trip. We will break off at noon for lunch near several great restaurants. Don't forget to sign up for the OWLS/GULs lunch.
Not sure what to do in the afternoon? San Antonio is filled with ALL sorts of things! (Off-site activities are on your own/with friends and some do require admission fees)
LPA recommends:
If you would rather stay at the hotel, no worries! We will be hosting our infamous Boccia Tournament at the hotel for kids and adults. The Drury Plaza also provides an outdoor pool, for the hot Texas heat.
We invite you to join us for in the evening for a special new addition. The district will be honoring and recognizing the mom's and/or superhero's of District 8 in honor of Mother's Day. We encourage you to step up to the microphone and give your shoutouts. The night will continue with some extra fun including karaoke to get us warmed up for the Saturday night dance.

- Use a credit/debit card and enter your grand total $ and fill out the PayPal info. Add the registration 'Last Name & Regional 2024’ in the additional notes section before submitting your payment! This helps us with verification, since PayPal contact info and registration last names can be different.
