   *** Roommate Roundup ***
------------------------------

Folks trying to find compatible roommates for the convention in Phoenix
may want to use the new HyperNews forum to see who else is looking.

------------------------------
  *** Discussion Forums ***
------------------------------

There are now 6 web discussion forums available, including 3 related to
convention sessions and 3 for discussing other matters (finding roomies,
for instance). Feel free to create more!

------------------------------
    *** Online Events ***
------------------------------

There's now a web page with a schedule of coming online events (the first
happens Wednesday evening, 2/5!) and a form/forum for requesting help
setting up your own realtime online events and discussing the
particulars/procedures. 

The schedule currently includes the C-Fest series, but we hope to add more
events soon.

     *** Session Info ***
------------------------------

There are now 14 sessions represented in the collection. Thanks to those
presenters who have contributed texts! Hope others will pile in soon and
keep the collection growing.

     *** Coming Soon ***
------------------------------

Scholars for the Dream

We hope to soon have more to share about this program and this year's
award-winners. 

Child Care

CCCC cannot (for insurance reasons) provide child care at the convention,
but there is growing interest among CCCC members to bring their families
to the event. This year we hope to provide some information and venues for
parents to share information about available child care services in
Phoenix and discuss the possibilities.
