We in Wisconsin are excited to be hosting a joint international conference of the Community Development Society and the National Rural Development Partnership from June 17-20, 2007 in Appleton, Wisconsin. Our theme, "Discover the Magic of Community: History, Change and Regional Development" will explore all the latest trends in development that community and rural development practitioners, educators and policy makers have been working on worldwide.
*
We have an incredible line-up of on-site and mobile workshops, as well as some great hospitality events - just for you! You can also register online and/or find a detailed program agenda at http://www.comm-dev.org

<![if !supportLists]>·******** <![endif]>The Radisson Paper Valley hotel has offered us an unprecedented rate of $97/night for single, double, triple OR quad. They have sleep-number beds and suites available, too! Book your room online by going to http://www.radisson.com/appletonwi - select the dates you will be staying and enter “CDS” in the box for Promotional Codes. The proper rates will then appear. Airfares directly into Appleton (Airport Code: ATW) run less than $400 from every market we checked, East Coast to West Coast. Plus, there is FREE shuttle service from the airport to the hotel. See travel info at http://www.wirural.org/CDS2007TravelInfo.htm
Other highlights include: Ten great mobile workshops to choose from. http://www.wirural.org/CDS-NRDPHighlights.htm Wisconsin Rural Partners will feature its Top Rural Development Initiatives awards on the first evening. More info: http://www.wirural.org/Top%20RDIs.htm There is indeed Magic in this community - Appleton was home to Harry Houdini. Our opening reception will feature some magic, as well as our own "Homage to Frommage." The Fox Cities region of Wisconsin is also called the "Paper Valley" because it is home to many paper companies. Monday evening, we will take you to the Paper Discovery Center for a "Badger Tailgate" where you can feast on traditional Badger State foods, and learn to make paper, among other things. The Center is a hands-on museum housed in a former paper factory on the beautiful Fox River. More than 30 restaurants to choose from for Dinner on the Town Tuesday evening. Celebration banquet on Wednesday evening featuring the NRDP's*Ron Shaffer Award and CDS Awards. Kick up your heels afterward to a swinging local jazz band.

Special note: We still have display booth space available for the conference. Please contact me at *kelly@wirural.org (kelly@wirural.org) for more information.
