General Convention begins Tuesday, July 7, but we're going on Sunday, July 5 to get settled in and have time to organize a bit.
I'm really excited about going. I went in 2003 as an alternate, but had to come home on the first legislative day due to a family emergency. Let's hope that doesn't happen again!
The House of Deputies is organized into legislative committees. I am on the Social and Urban Concerns committee and on the Economic Justice subcommittee. I'm not sure I know what all this will entail, but I've been told to expect 4 or 5 hours of sleep.
We've got a great deputation this year. I'm looking forward to working with them.
I can't promise that I will post every day. I'll try.
Please keep General Convention in your prayers.
Bob
