Good afternoon,

Only a few days until YDNC's Convention in Fayetteville! We hope
you're as excited as we are to reconnect with old friends and hear
from some amazing speakers. We just wanted to put some important info
at the top of your inbox ahead of the weekend: you can view the full
Convention schedule here: YDNC.ORG/CONVENTION [2]

To kick off Convention, we'll be having a WELCOME
RECEPTION from 7-9pm on Friday, April 4, hosted by the Young
Democrats of Cumberland County. It'll be at MAIN EVENT in Fayetteville
(580 CROSS CREEK MALL, FAYETTEVILLE, NC 28303 [3]).

On Saturday, registration will begin at 9am at the EMBASSY SUITES BY
HILTON FAYETTEVILLE (4760 LAKE VALLEY DR, FAYETTEVILLE, NC 28303 [4]).
Our general session will begin right at 9:30am, where we will elect
new officers and conduct other business.

Our AWARDS LUNCHEON begins at 11:30am at the Embassy Suites, where
we'll hear from our wonderful speakers and present awards for some
outstanding members of our YDNC community. If you bought a ticket
through Actblue or have been given a ticket by someone else, lunch
will be provided for you. ATTIRE IS BUSINESS CASUAL.

After lunch, we have two breakout sessions with panels and trainings
presented by YDNC members:

*
At 1:30pm, RUNNING FOR PARTY OFFICE and STORYTELLING WITH EQUALITY
NC.

Finally, caucuses will meet at 3:30pm while CDNC and NCATD hold their
elections.

Our reserved room block at the Embassy Suites Hilton by Fayetteville
has filled up. If you need to stay overnight before the convention,
you can either book a room through the hotel's normal website or find
other accommodations close to the hotel at 4760 LAKE VALLEY DR,
FAYETTEVILLE, NC 28303. The general business session begins at 9:30am
on Saturday 4/5, so you may not need lodging if you live within a
reasonable distance and are willing to get up early on Saturday.
