This is a college continuing education class, not sponsored by a local or state society. This is the only known conference of its kind sponsored by a PUBLIC TAX-SUPPORTED two-year college west of the Mississippi River. The college does not have to make a profit, but neither can it afford to lose money. The conference is being organized by two adjunct community services instructors. Due to across- the board tax funding cuts in state funding, etc., the college is raising all tuition fees! In order to continue having these conferences expenses must be kept in the black!!! Attendance must be increased and advertising costs much be cut to the bare minimum. All assistance in advertising the conference through the "tried-and-true pass-it-along" method would be greatly appreciated. If your society has a publication which would publish a free event notice, please contact the publicity coordinator to be sure that you are on the bulk mailing list. If your society is having a seminar please contact us for extra brochures for your "goodie" bags or "freebie" table.)
