The Early Bird Catches the Worm - Fat Fest 2004
If you're an early bird you can catch reduced registration fee for Fat
Fest. Just post your application and fee no later than April 1st. That's a $25 savings to you. Such a deal! The organizers are getting more and more excited as we meet weekly to plan this fantastic event. Here are just a few of the reasons we're so excited: 1. Great workshop leaders are volunteering to present a wide variety of both fun and informative workshops. 2. We're bringing Lynn McAfee out from the East Coast and she'll be leading a workshop and delivering the keynote address. If you don't know about Lynn's work, she's our unofficial but extremely effective representative in Washington, DC and she's got a lot to tell us about what's going on there in relation to the weight loss industry and the hysteria over the "obesity epidemic". 3. Cathy Miller of Big on Batik will be coordinating the fashion show and she has a lot of great ideas on how to make it even better than ever. She's ready to make make you a fashion model extrordinaire if you'd like to strut your stuff at our Saturday afternoon fashion show. 4. Marilyn Kalman will be emceeing our Sunday night talent show which could include you if you'd like to perform. Her klezmer band will also be performing. 5. We'll have a hospitality suite open through the weekend with games and fat positive videos ongoing. 6.

The Early Bird Catches the Worm - Fat Fest 2004
Um, you posted this in several diet groups. Isn't the point of these groups
not to be fat? Advertising for a fat acceptance fest is kind of insulting isn't it? "Judy Freespirit" wrote in message ... If you're an early bird you can catch reduced registration fee for Fat Fest.
