Friends,
Below is information from Steve Dasbach, Libertarian Party National Director,
about the upcoming Libertarian Party National Convention -- including an
opportunity for a free convention package!
The convention is June 29 - July 3, 2000, in Anaheim, California.
If you're already an Arizona delegate or alternate, you may wish to consider
the various packages and begin making appropriate accommodation and travel
arrangements.
If you're not already an Arizona delegate or alternate and would like to
attend, please contact me immediately to be placed on the alternate list.
Alternates are placed on a first come-first serve basis by a formula approved
by our state committee. At this point, I can virtually guarantee newly named
alternates will be seated as delegates.
If you have any questions, please don't hesitate to contact me.
Best regards,
Peter Schmerl
Chairman
Arizona Libertarian Party, Inc.
Want to attend the 2000 Libertarian National Convention -- and
get a convention package for FREE?
Want to be treated like a VIP while you're at the Convention?
Want to enjoy an upgrade to a luxurious hotel suite, receive an
invitation to the exclusive Torch Club reception, and get special
"front-row" seating at events?
You'll get that opportunity, if you enter the "Be a VIP!"
convention raffle.
And even if you don't win, you will still save $30 off the
convention package price. That's guaranteed.
But you must act fast: The deadline to enter the raffle -- or
to qualify for the $30 savings -- is Saturday, April 15. You must
register by phone, fax, or online by that date. Or, your mail
registration must be postmarked by April 15.
The rules for the "Be a VIP!" raffle are simple, and one lucky
Libertarian is GUARANTEED to win.
The raffle is open to anyone who purchases ANY package to
attend the National Convention by that April 15 deadline. Register, and
you're automatically entered. (Anyone who has already purchased a
package is also automatically entered.)
Shortly before the start of the convention, one winner will be
selected at random by the Balcom Group. It could be YOU!
If you win, you will receive a 100% rebate for the price of
your convention package. For example, if you purchase a $339 Gold
Package, you will be reimbursed for the entire $339. If you buy a $249
Silver Package, you will receive $249. And so on.
If you have reserved a hotel room at the convention hotel --
the Anaheim Marriott Hotel -- you will also get an upgrade to a suite
for no extra charge.
PLUS: If you win, you will get complimentary tickets to the
Torch Club Reception (normally reserved for the party's most generous
contributors), and special VIP seating at any events included in your
convention package.
If you're the lucky "Be a VIP!" winner, you'll be notified when
you check into the convention hotel, and then a public announcement
will be made.
What if you don't win? Then you still save $30 -- GUARANTEED.
After April 15, the prices of the convention packages increase by $30.
So even if you don't win, you still save.
Delegate packages include:
* The Gold Package ($339) which features a ticket for the Gala
Banquet on Saturday night, the Thursday welcoming reception, two
luncheons with prominent guest speakers, a special surprise
entertainment event, all workshops and panels, and a Main Hall speaker
