So the recently announced College Democrats National Convention is on July 23-26. I have spoke those in charge of clubs and organizations on campus about having the school contribute funds in order for a few members, about 3-4, go to the convention. Apparently, we had to request funds in April to receive them for the summer (which doesn't help us, because we have new leadership and our summer break is so long that things like this could come and go within that time span, aka like this situation), so we won't be able to receive and funds from the the school.

I am planning on going, so I am extending an invite to 3 other club members that are serious about going to Washington, D.C. for this convention. I will most likely be driving out there, unless no one else is going, and then I will just be flying out there myself. I know that registration itself is $50, until May 31st, and then it increases to $65 until July 9th. I don't know how much it will cost total for us to go, yet. The site for the convention says that more information will be posted soon, so I am hoping that it will happen any day now. My personal guess is that it will be at least $1000 for the 4 days, unless the have a special deal on hotels and such. There is also a possiblity of sharing hotel rooms and such to make it cheaper, but that would be something to talk about later.

As soon as there is more information, I will post it on here. Anyone that is interested in this should email me at, chljackson@uindy.edu, and let me know that you are interested.
