[rtpnet-tact] CTCNet Conference in Seattle - Rates increase after tomorrow

[Judy Hallman]

To RTPnet TACT list:

I'm forwarding a message about the CTCNet conference. They've kept the 
cost as low as possible. CTCNet conferences are great! Good sessions
(see the agenda below) and a chance to meet and compare notes with about 
600 people who are working in or with community technology centers. Lots 
of energy and enthusiasm!
