Hello again STARCheads and assorted friends,
A few new people have been added to this email list, so while there is new information in this email, please forgive any repitition.
The conference schedule will be available when you register, along with a "What is STARC" packet for you newbies to get acquainted with our history, structure, and current campaigns. Meanwhile, the schedule is attached for your viewing pleasure. Please plan to arrive on Aug. 8 because we start at 9am on Aug 9th!
REGISTRATION
Pre-Registration = Housing. Your friends can pre-register until Wednesday 8/7 12pm at: www.starcalliance.org. If you DON'T need housing, please send us an email! (folks who live in Murfreesboro and Nashville, we assume you don't need housing).
Registration will begin at 2pm on Thursday 8/8 and last throughout the conference.[We had hoped to host a free conference, but because food, transportation, and housing have become so expensive, we are requesting a $10-30 donation per person for 4 days of workshops, food, and housing sorry about any confusion.]
The Registration/Info desk will be located in the Business and Aerospace Building North (named "BAS") . The registration room is named the "Sun Trust Room" and is labeled BAS N #127. BAS building is located on MTSU Blvd.
TRANSPORTATION
Planes/Bus/Train: If you are using plane/train/bus and have not recieved a "pick up" confirmation email, please email us your itinerary asap. I think we got everyone tho.
Car: Here is a link to Middle Tennessee State University's website with maps and directions inside Tennessee: http://www.mtsu.edu/maps/index.html We suggest using www.mapquest.com to find directions from outside Tennessee. Parking passes for MTSU campus are free and available when you register.
HOUSING
Great News! Murfreesboro and Nashville are populated with friendly radicals! Most or all of you will be housed in a local home either on a couch, rug, or futon. In addition to bringing a sleeping bag, WE HIGHLY RECCOMEND BRINGING A PILLOW AND SLEEPING PAD. There is no public transportation in Murfreesboro so if you are driving to the conference we will place you in Nashville housing (a 20-30 min drive), and if you do not have a car we will place you in Murfreesboro and shuttle ya'll to the conference (5-10 min drive) each morning. You will recieve housing assignments when you register. If you are interested in camping out at a nearby commune during the conference email me asap.
FOOD
We are providing breakfast, lunch, and dinner on the days of Aug 9,10,11,12. If you have not signed up to help in gathering food donations for the conference and know of a way to get ahold of donated/dumpstered food, please email lauraclose@yahoo.com. Vegan and Kosher options will be available at each meal, and there will be meat dishes served as well.
TO BRING: (a suggested list)
Sleeping bag, pillow, sleeping pad (please bring extras if you have them), towel, notebook and pen, summer clothes, dance music!, any medications you need, shower supplies, spare cash for books, sense of adventure.
STARC NEEDS HELP WITH: (Please email lauraclose@yahoo.com if you can help with any of this)
1. Local housing in Murfreesboro for trainers
2. Food donation support (perishable and non perishable foods of all types!)
3. Cooking: On site we'll need volunteers to pitch in for one meal or more
4. Child Care: There will be mothers attending and we're assembling a crew of people to help with child care, men encouraged to apply.
Finally, starting 8/6 4pm CST and during the conference, Anna and Laura can be reached at the STARC Cell Phone: 510.872.0793. Feel free to email us at summerconference2002@yahoo.com with any ideas or questions.
