OK, everybody
Now is the time!
There are 3 more weeks until the New York City Activism Seminar. Now is the time to sign up, by pressing the magic PayPal link right here:
The e-mail address to use to send your PayPal payment to is nancy2003@sluggy.net
or freepmail me, firebrand, to find out another way to pay (check, postal money order, etc.).
Scholarships and Donations Now Being Accepted:
It turns out that the $70 tuition is a little too high for many of our younger Tri-State Area freepers, and the temporarily unemployed. One scholarship has already been offered and taken, and Tri-State thanks go out to the superb clyde260. If you can help another freeper out, either post to this thread or freepmail me--I will make sure someone who needs the scholarship gets it.
The Details:
Where:
Women's National Republican Club
3 West 51st Street
New York City
Go to the WNRC site and click on the doors. Inside you can see the lovely Lincoln Room, where the seminar will be held, and some of the guest rooms, in case you are thinking of making a weekend of it ($150 for a Queen room; $225 for a suite).
When:
Saturday, June 5
9 a.m. to 4 p.m.
There will be an hour for lunch.
Morning and afternoon coffee service will be provided with Krispy Kremes in the morning, courtesy of Diotima
The previous thread is HERE
To run down the list of topics once more:
Internet activism
coalition building
establishing your own personal network
rallies and protests
targeted voter contact
public speaking
media contacts
and more!
The group leading this seminar is the Leadership Institute, of Washington, D.C. These people are professionals at conservative leadership training. Everyone who has been to one of their grassroots seminars is full of enthusiasm and praise.
Cacique will soon be posting a link to a pdf flyer that you can download and distribute at any meetings in your area that you think participants might come from.
This is an opportunity. It will not come your way again. It may sound a bit like school, but it is a lot more fun than that, and way, way more important.
We have been asleep for too many years, to the point where even the word activism itself is associated with the other side. It is time to reverse-Gramsci our priceless nation, and this is the way to start, or to sharpen your already sharp skills further and learn some new ones, possibly in areas you haven't considered before.
Only 3 weeks to go to move this event forward to a resounding success!
Threats will not keep this event from happening. Rain or shine, commie stick-wagging or respect for the rights of others--either way it will take place!
Bump!
BTTT...MUD
I would like to attend, but the price would preclude me from going. However, if it is possible for someone to help sponsor me, I can make it to NYC from Rochester. I'm 24 and don't have extra money, but I can make it to NYC and I have a place to stay in Harlem.
Please let me know if anyone else is offering to help younger (and poorer) FReepers out. This would be a great opportunity, I was sad deciding I would not be able to attend. I think even if I could get help with half the tuition I could go. Between travel costs and food that would probably be doable.
Thank you very much,

Bump,
bump,
& bump!
please check #63
Hopefully someone can help me out!
BTTT!
The FRN is donating two half scholarships for those interested. I'll be using PayPal later today to transfer that money into your account, firebrand.
You have freepmail!
The legendary generosity of freepers is making this possible for some people who couldn't otherwise attend. I am proud to be a freeper.
Thanks for all the bumps, EdReform!
BTTT
Tuesday Afternoon BUMP!
We MUST help out the youngster from Rochester. I have already sponsored a half scholarship, but will do more if asked to!
Let's see how we do as far as breaking even. That's really all I hope for. Thanks for being so generous!
Thank you all very much. Special thanks to the anonymous donors. You have my thanks and my respect!
Are you planning on attending this seminar? I can give you a lift if you're thinking of attending and would like to carpool.
Bumps & Bimps on this thread would be appreciated!
Re: #67 above -- has your need been taken care of?

Godspeed with yer efforts...we need a limitless supply of patriotic FReepers this fall...MUD
