Even as I write these remarks, activists from across the nation are assembling in Charlotte, North Carolina, for THE pro-life educational event of the year. Although on-site registration has only just begun, the excitement is already palpable.

NRLC staff is working furiously to accomplish last-minute tasks. The goal is meet the high standards of previous conventions, no easy task. But you'd be impressed, if you were here, by their dedication and organizational skills.

What do we know about the attendees? Many will, of course, be veterans of many, many previous conventions. But an increasingly large percentage will be younger and/or first-time participants. We know in advance that most will be techno-savvy.

To that end my wife, Lisa (editor of the NRLC Convention Yearbook), and I will join a newer member of the NRLC staff to talk about newsletters, newspapers, and on-line resources. The latter will largely be an explanation and exploration of NRLC's website – www.nrlc.org.

If you haven't visited the site, you are missing out on a motherlode of information.

I will be blogging each day from the convention, which runs through Saturday. I hope to give you a sense of the convention's flavor and convince you, if you are close enough, to swing by for at least a day.

The information you will be exposed to is unmatched. But the camaraderie, the sharing, the fellowship is worth its weight in gold.

Talk to you tomorrow.
