TRSMCA Convention 2004 will be hosted by the Keystone Chapter and will be held at the Radisson Valley Forge Hotel from 6 May to 9 May 2004.  We have signed a contract and hope everyone will make time to attend this wonderful event. The hotel is located in the heart of Valley Forge, and is 90 seconds from the Pennsylvania Turnpike and adjacent to Valley Forge National Park. The Court and The Plaza in King of Prussia, the second largest retail shopping mall in the country, is only a few miles away. And historic Philadelphia is just 20 minutes away. The hotel has recently completed over $12 million in beautiful renovations- bright, marble guest lobbies, oversized rooms and suites, a state-of-the art fitness center, concierge and gift shop.

There is outstanding dining and entertainment on-property for our convention group. They are: The Blue Grotto Italian Bistro, Chumley’s Steakhouse, The Sunflower Café, Lily Langtry’s Restaurant and Showplace, and a Night Club.
