There is a conference occurring this
Friday and Saturday in Ames, Iowa. The conference is the Rural Youth
Summit where Rural Americans 35 years old and under will take the stage
to discuss the issues facing them today. 

Registration is still open 
at http://events.iatp.org and registration includes participating in the 2^nd
National Forum on Agriculture and Rural Life on Saturday, which will be
attended by the leading Presidential candidates! So not only will
participants get a day focusing on rural youth, but they will get to
continue the conversation on various topics and have a chance to
address the leading Presidential candidates. It is sure to be a really
informative and excellent weekend.

All conference information is online at our
website which I listed above. People can easily register online, or
call me if they have questions. We are willing to give discounts or
sponsor participants, so if cost is an issue, we will talk to people on
a case by case basis.

The support would be much appreciated—we really want people to know
they can still register!

Please let me know if you have any questions.

Sincerely,
