Dear Robert,

I do hope you will be able to attend our Capitol Hill Days '99 event.  I
have included some information about the March event below.  I will also be
sending you a registration packet in the mail.  If you have any questions,
please call me at  (800) POP-1956.

Happy Holidays.

Dear ZPG Activist:

It’s that time again! Register now to attend the 3rd Annual Capitol Hill
Days event, to be held in Washington, DC on March 6-9, 1999.

Don’t miss out on an exciting opportunity to learn how to lobby, build
coalitions and hear the latest on population issues, women’s health, and the
environment. As an added bonus, you'll also get a chance to meet with your
legislators on Capitol Hill.

March 8, 1999 is "International Women's Day." This provides us with the
perfect opportunity to talk with legislators about improving women's lives
around the world through access to family planning, economic opportunity and
education. The fight to slow rapid population growth is not a means an end,
but is an opportunity to confront other inequities along the way. Here is
your chance to protect the quality of life for future generations.

So, start planning now to attend what is promising to be an exciting event.

There is no registration fee for you to attend. A limited number of
scholarships for travel and/or housing are available.

For more information or to register, please contact http://www.zpg.org/~heather or call
ZPG at (800) POP-1956 and ask to speak with Heather Smith or another staff
member in the Government Relations Department.

Sincerely,
Heather Smith
Legislative Associate
