Warner,

Just received this info...and the good news is that  all GREENS wanting to 
attend will have their
registration fee of $150  paid by Cal HCN, the non-profit that is co-host and 
one of my clients.  We
were, thanks to Ken Smith and Joe Feller, one of the first  organizations to 
support Cal-HCN.

Anyway, here's the info. BTW, what  is unstated here is that there is a MAJOR 
FIGHT in the East Bay
as well  as expected new ones in the South Bay with Wal-Mart. Discussions of 
that  will take place.

Here's a portion of the email from Cal HCN project  director Phil Tucker. - 
the latter part is the 
announcement,but add  GREENS get in free:
