By the way, please feel free to forward this information around. We request you post this to any lists, including national lists that might have New England people on the list. Lots of communities starting alternative systems everywhere.

We'll be car-pooling down to this - we may as well pick Kevin's brain while he's up here. He's really got a good handle on how to promote community currencies to local merchants and he's willing to demonstrate by taking us around the neighborhood. We're trying to arrange a Ridley-ographer to video encounters for upload later - got any volunteer videographers out there???

write seminars@AltExpo.org if you can help.

Oops, that's Kevin Innes, National Training Director of Liberty Dollar who'll be doing a couple of the presentations.
