General Convention 2006 is less than a year away, and there will be many, many presentations and discussions about congregational development. Here's info about connecting with others who plan to be in Columbus, need housing, but won't be making arrangements through one of the deputation.
"Please share this information with those who are not deputies and will
be paying their own way to Columbus next summer.
Visit http://groups.yahoo.com/group/GC06RoomShare to connect with
others who want to share accommodations and expenses at General Convention 2006. If you already have a yahoogroups.com identity, you need only to sign
in with your Yahoogroups identity and password. Otherwise you will be
invited to create a free yahoogroups identity and password.
In this group people may connect to explore sharing accommodations
while attending The 75th General Convention of the Episcopal Church in
Columbus, OH, June 13-21 2006.
The site is unofficial, and the group owner/moderator assumes no
responsibility for the authenticity of the information that persons
post here or in private mail following up on posts here. We hope that all
material posted here is in good faith. We also hope that persons will post
references that may be checked. Minimally every person who posts should give
her or his parish name and location; home street, town, state and zip; and a
brief explanation of what role the person expects to play at the General
Convention.I hope that this venue will help people connect to reduce their costs.
I also welcome people in the Columbus area who wish to use this site to let
people know of bed & breakfast opportunities, home and parish hospitality.
This is not a group to discuss the issues of General Convention. Anyone
doing so will be subject to removal. There are many other venues for
that. Mainly the group should function as a bulletin board would in your
parish hall. It should help you connect, but the details of your connection
should move immediately offline."
