Information from the WV Chapter of NASW - Save the Date!

Social Work Day at the  Legislature
Wednesday, January  30, 2008
9 AM - 3 PM (tentative  times)
Cultural Center and Capitol (both on Capitol Grounds--awaiting confirmation) 
 
This  will be followed with our Legislative reception honoring Social Workers 
at  the Charleston Marriott Hotel that evening. 

You will be receiving additional information, but we wanted to make  sure you 
had the date.

We hope to have a HUGE turnout  of professional social workers and social 
work students throughout the  state to show our Legislators that social workers 
are WATCHING them and are very  interested in issues affecting our profession 
and the people we serve.   

In order to cover our expenses (meeting space, refreshments,  materials) we 
will need to again charge a minimal registration  fee.    You will be receiving 
registration information via email  as soon as all the details have been 
worked out. 

We want to give participants as much time  as possible at the Capitol, but 
also want to provide guidance and direction  so people will not feel so 
overwhelmed when they are  there.

Participants  will be encouraged to set up meetings with their Legislators 
and will also  be given the opportunity to observe committee meetings etc.  NASW 
will  have a Social Work Booth that will be set up at the Capitol to provide  
information throughout the day.

Please mark Wednesday, January  30, 2008 on your calendars for 2007 Social 
Work Day at the  Legislature!
