FALL CONFERENCE 2001
CANCELLATION NOTICE

In the aftermath of the National Tragedies which took place in New York City and other Eastern cities on Tuesday, September 11, 2001 and following consultation with Bishop Michael Driscoll and members of the Diocesan Education Ministries staff, it has been decided that is appropriate to cancel this year's Fall Conference.

The needs we have as a Catholic Community to unite with our families and parish communities in prayer for the victims and their loves ones along with the difficulties associated in guaranteeing the presence in Boise of almost a dozen persons who were scheduled to deliver some 50 keynote addresses and workshops make it prudent to make this decision.

We appreciate the efforts of the many people throughout the diocese who have worked so diligently and cooperatively with the Diocesan Education Ministries staff to prepare for the conference. We ask that you notify those members of your parish and school groups who had planned to attend this year's conference of this notification and advise all concerned that over the next week to ten days we will be in contact with those who registered for this event to communicate the procedures that will be followed in making registration refunds and/or dealing with other issues relating to the Fall Conference. We thank all for their cooperation and understanding!
