Hello everybody,
I have been offline for over a week, and can't tell you how much I miss doing DawnWatch. I hope to return to it later today. But what I couldn't do is miss the opportunity to tell everybody about a wonderful conference coming up shortly, June 6-8, in Minneapolis. Fantastic speakers from around the country will be there. I am thrilled to be a part of it, as a speaker, and will also sign books -- I so look forward to seeing old activist friends and making lots of new ones. Here is the information from Compassionate Action for Animals:
