Rainier, MD 20822 LEAP YEAR CONFERENCE On the last weekend in February a group of people representing alternative organizations from all over the N.W. met in Sandy, Oregon, for the Leap Year Conference. There was some hope of federating ... but it was enough just to get to know one another. Ideas and information flowed well in practical trade workshops and small discussion groups. It was exciting to see how many of us there are and how together we are! The proceedings will be available shortly from: Leap Year Conference, P.O. Box 10091, Eugene, OR 97401. They should be worth reading-many thanks to the organizing committee from Eugene who made it all possible. Most of us left Sandy with a renewed sense of purpose and plans to have similar gatherings at a more local level. Thus: THE PORTLAND CONFERENCE ON COMMUNITY STRENGTH Sunday, April 11 at the Contact Center, 1532 S.W.
