Memorandum: Net Plus Conference

Diocesan Press Service. February 20, 1973 [73049]

Last April a number of communicators in the Episcopal Church met in Chicago, Ill., for a weekend to discuss communication concerns. "Net Plus " is the name by which those communicators are called.

The leaders of Net Plus who have been planning the 1973 conference have asked me to extend to you and other interested communicators in the Church an invitation to the NET PLUS CONFERENCE as follows:

DATES: March 29 - 31, 1973

PLACE: Sheraton Inn - Denver Airport, Denver, Colo.

The entire meeting will be at the Sheraton Inn, 3535 Quebec Street, Denver, Colo., near the airport. A block of rooms has been reserved for those who attend the conference. The special rates are:

$ 15.00 for singles (plus 7 percent tax)

$ 20.00 for twin doubles (plus 7 percent tax)

A reservation card is enclosed (as long as the supply lasts) for your convenience in making your own room reservation. (There is also a facsimile of the card for you to use or share with another communicator on your staff.) The Net Plus reservations are made in the name of Diocese of Colorado (please identify the "group " as such). Please send your reservation card or blank to the Inn as soon as possible.

There is free limousine service via Sheraton Inn car from the airport to the Inn.

The registration fee of $6.00 (payable in advance or on arrival) covers two Continental Breakfasts and one lunch. Other meals are at your own expense.

Many of the major airlines serve Denver; check your travel agent or local airport for schedules.
