	Kansas Dialogue XXI:  "Artfully Speaking" August 15 - 17, 2014 - Iola and Piqua (Fri evening through Sunday noon) Early Bird Registration is $100 when you register by June 15th   We have a treat for you. This year Kansas Dialogue returns to a small town setting, and we get to experience TWO Southeast Kansas communities:  Iola, population 5704, and Piqua, population 107.  Both towns have a unique "art" story to tell, which has inspired our theme this year.  But as always, our conversations will be as diverse as the people who join us and the interests that drive you.    If you haven't been to Kansas Dialogue before...  We are a changing group of people who gather for a weekend each year just to TALK, to have interesting and fun conversations on a score of subjects.  We design the actual content when we know who's coming and what you want to talk about. Kansas Dialoguers come from all corners of Kansas, dozens of occupations, different ages and ethnicities.  Together we create an off-the-record space where we can have honest conversations about things that matter to us as a state, community, families and individuals.   You can find more details about us on our website at www.kansasdialogue.com  and the specific details about this year's retreat are here: http://www.kansasdialogue.com/Iola-Piqua.html   The deadline for Early Bird registration is June 15th.  The Conveners will meet later that week to begin determining the topics we'll be discussing, and we want to make sure your thoughts are included as we plan.   You can register here, or use the registration tab on the website to let us know you're coming and what you'd like to talk about.  You won't be paying online, but it does lock in the early bird price of $100 per person (a $25 savings; and remember, students always get a special price of $25.)   We'd like to thank Shelia and Don Lampe for hosting Kansas Dialogue this year, and we all hope to see you August 15th!     Warm regards,   Martha Slater Farrell   on behalf of the Conveners Click the Conveners link to see the folks who help guide the process.  Kansas Dialogue is an all-volunteer, non-partisan event funded by registration fees and occasional in-kind donations.   PS - Again, the link at www.kansasdialogue.com has all the information, including activities, hotel information, and registration form...  along with an explanation of what Kansas Dialogue is all about.  Please feel free to share it with anyone you think would enjoy coming.   QUESTIONS?  Call Martha at 1-800-282-8435 (First Generation Video) or email ksdialogue@gmail.com
