From Mayor Dave:

The City of Madison is pleased to announce the upcoming citywide Neighborhood Conference, "Building Strong Neighborhoods: Learning from the Past, Looking to the Future." The conference will take place on Saturday, November 11, 2006, from 8:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. at Monona Terrace Community and Convention Center.

I want to extend a special invitation to you to attend the conference. Information and registration materials can be accessed on-line at www.cityofmadison.com/neighborhoods/neighborhoodconf2006/. The cost of the conference is minimal: $20.00 for Madison residents; $30.00 for government officials, non-profits, and non-City residents prior to the October 27, 2006 deadline.

We are excited to have Joel Bookman, who has over 25 years experience building community connections in Chicago, including recent work with the Local Initiatives Support Corporation (LISC), as our keynote speaker. Over 30 workshops will be offered during the full-day event. Language translation, interpretation for people with hearing impairments, and other services will be available.
