Hello, friends! Janel, one of the conference co-managers, here. Rayne, Paxus and I cannot believe that the conference is only 5 days away! We're so excited for our annual celebration of intentional community. I hope that at least a hand full of people walk away from the conference with changed lives. If even just one of the conference attendees falls in love with community and decides to join one, we'll have done our job.

If you are on the fence and have not registered for the conference yet, please--come see what this event is all about! It will be an educational, inspiring and possibly even magical weekend in a beautiful forest--what's not to look forward to?

Also, we'd like to encourage all of you, whether you are planning on attending or not, to tell your friends about the conference this week. Many of our attendees register at the very last minute, so we know that there are people out there still who may want to attend next weekend's conference! Please help us find them!

Would you like to spread the word about the Communities Conference at your educational organization or community? Invite those interested by downloading and posting this printable Twin Oaks Communities Conference 2011 flyer. You could also download and email the flyer to other educators and organizations that you think might be interested. It's all about community, so spread the word and start changing the world for the better.

Thanks so much to our fabulous graphic design specialist and fellow Oaker VODTJKA for designing what is surely the most beautiful & professional flier the Twin Oaks Communities Conference has ever seen!

It even has a QR code on it for all those smart phones out there. Talk about hip.

If any of you received it in the mail, I hope its gorgeous images & colors and enticing text thrilled you into registering for the conference immediately. Perhaps the flier is the very reason you found out about this website in the first place.

If so...hooray for effective marketing strategies!
