The conference might be useful, if you can get to it (see below). The Web
site www.fbci.gov looks very useful. Note the newsletter. I added a link

White House Conference on Faith-Based and Community Initiatives

Wednesday, October 29, 2003
8:00 AM - 5:00 PM

Memphis Cook Convention Center
255 North Main Street
Memphis, TN 38103-1623

On Wednesday, October 29, the White House and the Departments of Justice,
Agriculture, Labor, Health & Human Services, Housing & Urban Development,
and Education and the Agency for International Development will host a
Conference in Memphis, TN, to help faith-based and community
organizations learn more about President Bush's Faith-Based and Community
Initiative.  The Federal government is working to make sure that faith-based
and community groups can compete on an equal footing for Federal dollars,
receive greater private support, and face fewer bureaucratic barriers.

The Conference is free, but pre-registration is required. Registration is on
a first-come, first-serve basis. Visit www.fbci.gov to register online. We
strongly encourage you to register online. If you are unable to register
online, print the registration form attached to this email. Complete the
form and fax it to 703-299-4589 or 703-706-0476. If you are not able to view
this file, please call 202-456-6718 to have a form faxed to you. Please
register by October 17. If you are unable to attend the conference, please
cancel your registration via email, to fbci at dtihq.gov, or via fax, to the
numbers listed above, so we may accommodate as many people as possible.

The Conference is part of a series of regional Conferences that will be held
around the country. These Conferences will equip participants with
information about Federal programs that are suited to their needs, the
Federal funding process, and the legal requirements that may apply to
recipients of Federal funds.  It will also give them practical information
on the grant-writing process and successful practices from other
organizations, as well as an opportunity to network with Federal officials.

The conference will offer several different tracks of workshops. When you
pre-register, please indicate your preference for which workshop you would
like to attend. Since workshops fill up, please mark a first and second
choice.

For more information, please call 202-456-6718, send an email to
fbci at dtihq.com, or visit www.fbci.gov.

We very much hope you will be able to join us in Memphis, TN.
