Maybe you've been waiting for the Young Feminist Caucus and workshops being planned by the new NOW Young Feminist Task Force, or with the upcoming elections you're finally planning to participate in the NOW Political Institute. Perhaps you're coming to meet feisty author and radio host Laura Flanders, or writer/comedian Wendy Shanker, whose new book is The Fat Girls Guide to Life. Or you've heard that women's music icon Cris Williamson will be performing in concert with SONiA (of disappear fear) just for us! Maybe you're just looking for the next road trip with the friends who marched with you in D.C.

Whatever the reasons, make your plans now to spend July 16-18 with your NOW sisters in the glittery city. Southwest Airlines flies to Vegas, and cheap seats are frequently available online at orbitz.com, cheapseats.com, and many others.

Register for the conference online at www.now.org/conference or by calling 202-628-8669, ext. 117. Then book a flight and call the legendary Riviera Hotel and Casino at 1-800-634-6753 to reserve a room at a fantastic conference rate of $79.00. Remember to make your hotel reservation no later than June 25 so that you will get the NOW conference rate, and so that NOW will get credit for your room toward the cost of our meeting space. See you in Las Vegas!
