Conference Rates:
The board members of the MFHSAA are very excited about our 2002
conference, and want all interested animal rights advocates to be able
to attend, so we've tried to make the rates as reasonable as possible.
The following are suggested rates that we have determined would help
cover our costs. If you cannot afford the conference rates, please call
me and we can make arrangements. If you can afford more, please know
that we are a non-profit organization comprised of volunteers, and
welcome donations. Your donations and support enable us to continue our
work.
Thank you. Cody Winchester, Conference Coordinator
