HTA IS GOING TO CHINA IN 2011

HTA is getting a jump start on planning our trip for next year!
The trip to China is a great price (about $1600) and something we
just can’t pass up!
The trip will probably be in late April again; students, parents, siblings, aunties, uncles
and tutu’s are all welcome to come along!

We have a big push right now because the price will be going up April 1st and there are
a number of incentives for you to register by March 31st:

1. Register by March 31st with $95 and lock in the lowest program fee
2. Register by March 31st and receive an additional discount of $150
3. One lucky person from our HTA group that signs up by March 31st will also receive a
bonus discount of $50!
4. Use the auto-pay method and make the monthly payments of about $168 effortlessly!
