THURSDAY GMO TRAINING SEMINAR WITH JEFFREY SMITH
Take a full day workshop BEFORE the Weston A. Price conference, on Thursday, November 11, 2010, at the same location with international bestselling author and filmmaker Jeffrey M. Smith. Learn how to speak about genetically modified organisms (GMOs) and to organize effective activism on the issue. Help achieve the tipping point of consumer rejection to force GMOs out of our food supply. Whether you want to give complete presentations or simply add a GMO section to your current lecture, whether youre planning to discuss GMOs in a professional setting with clients or just with friends in a casual way, or whether you want to be a leading anti-GMO campaigner or simply want to help out where you can, dont miss this unique opportunity to learn from the leading spokesperson on GMO health dangers.  For further information, visit http://www.responsibletechnology.org/GMFree/TakeAction/Workshop/index.cfm?ndrx=99

CHILDCARE
The Wise Traditions Conference is pleased to provide a children's program for this year's meeting. $100 per child, includes lunch. Children 3 - 12 who are potty trained are welcome to Wise Traditions 2010 as long as they are enrolled in our children's program. For the sake of other conference attendees, we ask that parents refrain from bringing children to the conference sessions.

Please note: We will serve nourishing traditional food (including fruit and natural sweeteners) but we cannot cater to special diets in the children's program. There may be casein and gluten in the children's lunches and snacks. Parents will need to supply their own food if their children are on special diets.

Also note: A special room has been set aside for mothers of infants who want to attend the conference. There will be a live audio feed from one of the sessions to that room throughout the day's events. There will be no child care provided for infants and children under age 3.

CONFERENCE FOOD
As always, the conference will feature delicious traditional foods.  To view the menus, visit http://westonaprice.org/conferences/132-2010-conference/1977-2010-conference-menus.html (Menus are subject to change without notice.)

As we did last year, we will also provide gluten-free, casein-free alternative meals. Participants requiring gluten-free or casein-free meals will be served in a separate buffet with the exception of the Saturday banquet which is GF/CF with items containing gluten and/or casein served on the side. If you wish to have this option, please select the GF/CF option on your registration form.
