Feb. 10/17 (Tue.): More Reports, and Resolutions
Conference deans' reports and resolutions must be in the synod office within two days of your conference assembly (Feb. 10 if you meet on the scheduled day; Feb. 17 if you meet on the snow day).

• Conference Deans' Reports must be e-mailed so they arrive within two days of the conference assembly.

• Resolutions must be sent to the Rev. Audree Catalano so they arrive within two days of the conference assembly. Send them by mail (1001 14th St. NW, Suite 300; Rochester, MN 55901), or fax (507-280-8824).

Feb. 20 (Fri.): Registration

• Assembly registration postmark deadline. Your registration materials must be postmarked by this date to be eligible for the early bird rate of $110/person.

Apr. 1 (Thu.): Pre-Registrations and Registration Changes Will Not Be Accepted After this Date

• Are you planning to attend the 2004 Synod Assembly but just haven't sent in your registration yet? If so, please send your registration form and the accompanying fee of $125 per person to the synod office by April 1. (If you are a lay voter from your congregation, check with your pastor to see if you are registered before sending anything in.) You can download the registration form here (pdf format - you must have Adobe Acrobat Reader installed on your computer to read this document. Get it free at www.adobe.com). Registering in advance will help the check-in process at the assembly go much faster.

• Do not send registrations to the synod office after April 1. If you wish to register after April 1, you must do so on-site at the assembly.

• Also, if you need to change information on registrations that have been already sent in, notify of any changes in names and addresses by April 1.

• Of course, you can still wait until the day of the assembly to register or to make changes to a registration, but plan to arrive at 8 a.m. Friday, April 23. The process takes longer to complete on-site. If you choose to wait until you arrive at the assembly to register, remember to bring a check with you – $125 per person registration fee – payable to the Southeastern Minnesota Synod, ELCA.
