• THINGS TO THINK ABOUT BEFORE ARRIVAL

Get plenty of sleep before you come. There is no down time and no time for naps. The day begins early, ends late, and the schedule is non-stop.

Be thinking of party platform issues, legislative bill ideas, cheers to show party spirit and unity, and ideas for decorating your city.
