PR PACKET
One of the greatest tools for PR is to make sure your former campers know that they matter to you. Have your staff members from previous summers write personal messages on the postcards included in this packet, inviting campers to return for 2008 with friends. Also send these to every member of your congregation, neighboring churches, your community, etc.
You can download the complete packet as well as individual images below. You will need MS Publisher to open the PR packet.

Second, congregations with at least one year's experience can send experienced leaders to the Train the Trainer event and become certified to lead your own training. Finally, you can attend The Disciple Project at Texas Lutheran University June 29-July 3. Download details on prices and dates below:

Can any one tell me where the Train the Trainer event is going to be? The dates are March 7-9, and I can't quite figure out where this is and how to register. Please let me know.
Thanks
