Thursday, January 12, 2006 8:00 AM - 5:00 PM

Kansas City Convention Center 301 W. 13th Street Kansas City, MO 64105

On Thursday, January 12, 2006, the White House and the Departments of Justice, Commerce, Agriculture, Labor, Veterans Affairs, Health & Human Services, Housing & Urban Development, and Education, the Agency for International Development, and the Small Business Administration will host a targeted workshop in Kansas City to help faith-based and community organizations learn more about President Bush's Faith-Based and Community Initiative. The event is geared towards representatives from social service groups that have a track record of applying for government funding, especially those from groups that have not yet won grants.

The conference is free, but pre-registration is required. Registration is on a first-come, first-serve basis. Visit www.fbci.gov to register online. We strongly encourage you to register online. If you are unable to register online, print the registration form attachment. Complete the form and fax it to 703-416-1935.

If you must cancel your registration, please send an e-mail to fbci@dtihq.com or a fax to the number listed above so we may accommodate as many people as possible.

The workshop is part of a series of regional conferences and targeted workshops that are being held around the country. The targeted workshops will offer grant writing tutorials for certain Federal grant programs that present some of the greatest opportunities for officials to meet with State and local grant administrators about equal treatment regulations and facilitate opportunities to network with government officials.
