Preparations...
We only have four weeks left so don't put off making preparations another
second!.  Here are just a few important things to keep in mind:

1)   Chapter Registration:  Remember it is much cheaper to attend this
convention as a registered chapter, and secures you Chapter rights and
privileges for the year.  Check out our online Chapter Registration Form to
register as a group or contact us at [log in to unmask] or
(608)-251-3529.

2)   Convention Registration:  Space is limited at the convention and we
are expecting a huge crowd.  Each and every convention attendee must
register with us individually.  Individual convention registration can be
done on our webpage at www.campusgreens.org.

3)   Housing Registration:  The cheapest housing will likely go first,
so reserve your bed today!  Options range from $5-$15 per night.  Again
space is limited so check out www.campusgreens.org right now to reserve your
bed.

4)   Transportation:  Carpools, vans, and buses are being organized from
all parts of the country.  Contact us at [log in to unmask] or
(608)-251-3529 to get on board.

The Campus Greens Founding Convention is shaping up to be one of the most
important events for progressive organizers in summer of 2001.  Don't miss
out on your opportunity to take a leadership role in this exciting new
organization.
