Registration

This just in from our Vice President, Karen Dau:

My friend who kindly volunteered to create the registration brochure is coping with 11-hour workdays at her place of employment after a major layoff.  Because the registration brochure will be a little bit delayed, I am inviting and encouraging people who plan to attend Convocation 2010 to send me a “notice of intent to register.”  You can use my email at selway@localnet.com, or send a notice through the postal service to 54 Starling St., Rochester NY 14613.  This info will help me with planning as the brochure gets completed.  Thanks ever so much, and I look forward to seeing you in Rochester!

--Karen Dau, Vice President, Universalist Convocations
