So there's this conference. It's not just any conference, folks, it's Teaching Respect for All 2004 [TRA 2004], which is GLSEN's [Gay, Lesbian and Straight Education Network] national conference. This year it will be taking place in Washington, DC on the lovely American University campus from July 16th-18th, with an optional day of action on Monday

YAY! I was gonna ask you, actually, if you wanted to post about that here! We're not an AR/earth community, anyway. We're an open-minded gaggle of hippies, most of whom are vegan and/or queer (mostly "and", for that matter).

I reaaally wanted to go to this, but I'll have graduated from high school by the time it comes around, and it's way way out of my price range. (You, particularly, know what I'm talking about when I refer to the exorbitant costs of tuition at Earlham!) Also, I leave for August Wilderness at Earlham on July 25, and knowing my family's penchant for preparation, I'll probably have to spend the whole week before I leave rushing around buying gear.

Noo, don't let the price stop you! Finiancial aid is availible not only to high school student, but to college students and adults as well. ANYONE who needs it should apply and has a good chance of getting it. That was actually one of the recetn changes to the conference this year- in previouis years it was hard for some adults and college students to attend due to thw price, so it was changed to better suit everyone financially. Apply hun!
