As many of you have already seen and heard at Jaina 2003 - YJP has announced San Diego as the host for this year's convention. The theme for the convention is Balance: Inside and Out where the aim is to have participants learn how to truly balance all the aspects of their lives: spiritual (Jainism), professional and personal.
As with all YJP conferences there will be plenty of opportunities to network, socialize, and learn about Jainism with your peers. There is will also be time to explore San Diego, take in the attractions, and spend sometime at some of the best beaches in the USA. Visit http://www.yjponline.org/san%20diego_files/ frame.htm for YJP's slide show on this year's conference.

The convention will be held at the Shelter Pointe Hotel and Marina - www.shelterpointe.com. The hotel is situated at the tip of Shelter Island in San Diego Bay. Recreational features at the 11-acre resort including two pools and Jacuzzis, full service fitness club, a sunning beach with volleyball courts on the sand, bicycle & tennis court rentals, water sports & boat rentals, jogging paths. The Resort is also just a short drive from excellent golfing in San Diego and La Jolla. You'll be able to enjoy all of these facilities, all the while participating in invigorating discussions and sessions geared towards what is relevant in our lives.
