• a positive attitude and the expectations of having an incredible time
• walking shoes, dancing shoes, and a way to erase your carbon footprint!
• toiletries (don't forget your tooth brush)
• a warm jacket and maybe mitts (it has been known to rain or snow here in October)
• CASUALLY SMART OUTFIT for the dinner and dance
• school t-shirt or memorabilia item for the gift exchange
• Box of pasta (no, not for your lunch, but lunch activity!)
• Box of cereal (not for breakfast, but to play with your food)

• Bring a reusable water bottle and a mug (we will have some for sale if you forget, all proceeds go to famine relief)
• Initially we thought dishes too, but Chef Dave to the rescue

Thanks to Chef Dave, we can remove the dishes request, because he will provide the dishes!!!!!

Did you know that by doing 'real' dishes and using utensils that we will save over 2,500 paper plates and 5,000 plastic utensils from entering the landfill.

Packaging is also one of the main culprits of landfill sites, and even Recycling is not the best option. In our aim to Reduce, we will not be supplying drinking boxes for the morning snack breaks. We will have filling stations for juice, water and coffee This will reduce by approximately 1,000 drink containers from this conference. By bringing your own water bottle, this will Reduce drink containers by a further 1,500.

Thank you for your support of this initiative - we hope to make this conference as environmentally supportive as possible.
