Hotel informa- tion may be obtained through the Tropicana's toll free number: 1-800- 634-6212. Those who have attended past Outreach programs know the value of these meetings with lawyers who have implemented the projects your affiliate is interested in. The practical how to do it tips and ideas can add greatly to the success of any local project. These meetings are especial- ly important for affiliates that have been inactive or are just being estab- lished. The panel presentations will give you the information and ideas you need to start a project, and the chance to meet with lawyers from across the nation who are involved in similar activities and will give you the enthusiasm to see the project through to a successful result. Affiliate Outreach Director Car- olyn Lamm reports that this year's format has been improved as a result of comments and suggestions from past participants. The program will focus on project panel presentations in four main areas: Law Reform, Edu- cation, Delivery of Legal Services and Community Service. The panels feature young lawyers from across the country who have worked on projects in their local communities. Following each panel presentation, speakers will join small groups of rep- resentatives from similarly sized af- filiates to discuss the projects and share ideas. A highlight of the one and one half day program will be Outreach Expo booths manned by young law- yers offering resource materials and expertise on nearly a dozen add ition- al projects. A number of new project ideas will be introduced at the meeting. Robert Geltzer of New York, NY, will discuss plans for a nationwide Consumer Law Day, and a special speaker from Ralph Nader's Public Citizen, Inc. will present information on how affil- iates can become involved in a new project in the area of Public Interest Law being developed by that organ- ization. David Watkins of Jackson, MS, Chairperson of the Town Hall Project will present information on a new se- ries of grants of up to $1,500 to assist from four to six affiliates to defray the expenses of holding a local Town Hall Meeting on issues of public interest.
