IMPORTANT ITEMS TO NOTE
Pre-Convention Information
Proposed resolutions, election information, and committee reports will be published in a special pre-convention packet. There will no longer be a pre-convention issue of The North Carolina Disciple in newspaper format. Instead, this packet will be distributed to lay delegates and clergy with voting privileges, and a pdf will be available on the diocesan website, www.episdionc.org, under “2011 Annual Convention” for anyone interested in downloading, saving, and/or printing the information.

Convention Packets
Convention packets distributed to clergy and delegates will only include convention-related materials. An information table will be available to display additional materials from committees, institutions, organizations, etc. This change will make folders less cumbersome to navigate and allow those interested to pick up information on topics they find useful at the information table.  Please send items for the information table to the Diocesan House, 200 West Morgan St., Suite 300, Raleigh, NC 27601, so they can be approved by the Bishop’s office.
