Students for Sensible Drug Policy 8th Annual Conference

Saturday, August 19th, 2006

I received a letter from Students for Sensible Drug Policy inviting me to their conference from November 17-19, 2006 in Washington DC. I really want to go to this. I’ll keep you posted on my progress. And I’ll copy the letter here in case anyone’s interested in going. If you’re in my area and would like to possibly arrange a group trip, contact me.

It is with excitement and much anticipation that I announce Students for Sensible Drug Policy’s 8th annual conference: “Just Say Know!” This historic event, which will take place at the Georgetown University Law Center in Washington, DC on the weekend of November 17-19, promises to be the biggest and best SSDP conference to date, and we hope that you will decide to be a part of it.

“JUST SAY KNOW!”
