Hey again,

Just another update from Louisa, VA...Bucket has been hard at work preparing the conference site for this year's event, and a new and improved shower area with a living roof (!!) is on track to be completed in time for us all to enjoy in August. The blueberry bushes are in, and Winter and Shakaya are doing wonders on the stone fire-pit.

After working out some kinks with online registration, all is finally well, and we're excited to be adding this new option for the first time. Paper registration is still a-okay, though, and the big push next week will be to get a 5,000 piece mailing (a flyer and registration form) up and out to folks across the country.

As always, we want to hear from you! Do you want to lead a workshop, or are you hoping to see something at the conference this year that you've been missing? Let us know...

With love,

Clementine

Hey,

Just wanted to keep everyone updated on a few new happenings in Communities Conference preparation...and remind you once again to mark your calendars for August 13-15th!

Shakaya, Winter and Bucket have been hard at work fixing up the site for this year's conference. Come summer the area should be full of lemon balm, spearmint and ivy for us all to enjoy, as well as a beautiful new fire-pit crafted in the shape of a sun. We've also been doing some sustainable logging on our land here at Twin Oaks, and will be using our own cedar for roofing improvements (perhaps even a living roof...) at the conference site shower house.

Registration for the conference is starting up, too, and we're putting the finishing touches on a flyer that will be sent out to over 5,000 people across the country. You can see this year's conference logo at the top of the page. Also, new this year there will be an online option for conference registration. If you'd like to register this way, just follow the link on the conference homepage.

That's about all for now. I'll be sure to keep you posted with updates, and I'm looking forward to seeing you in August!

Clementine (Alex)
