GENERAL NOTES
Name
Tags-For security reasons, conference name tags must be worn at all times. Tickets for specific conference events will be found inside the name tag holder.
Country of Service Information
-Information sheets for all activities planned for each country will be available where you register. If you did not pick up the sheet for the country of your interest, you can do so at any time at the Administration Pavilion on the conference grounds. Finding Folks
-At the Congressional Reception Thursday from 6:00 to 8:00 P.M. in the Rayburn House Office Building (please use the S. Capital St. entrance), state groupings will be highlighted to meet with Senators and Representatives from those states. -At the opening plenary session and the walk, country of ser-vice groupings will be highlighted to facilitate "finding folks."
- The country of service updates, receptions, and informal reunions (mentioned above) are all meant to give everyone the opportunity to saturate in "the warm fuzzies" and to tell their "peace stories," if they wish to do so.
Information/Lost & Found
-These services will be found at the entrance to the Exhibits Pavilion. There will be information available about the Washington area, including restaraunts, hotels, events, medi-cal assistance, etc.
Walk/Memorial Service
-Please plan on meeting by 8:00AM. Sunday morning at the south side of the Lincoln Memorial. Please wear comfortable walking shoes. As you arrive, seek out the sign for your country of service. If you desire, you can walk behind the flag of the country in which you served to the Kennedy gravesite at Arlin-ton Cemetery.
Transportation to the Lincoln Memorial Sunday AM.: The Subway does not operate Sunday morning until 10:00 AM.; therefore you must take alternative transportation. One alter-native is a taxi; another is to drive to the Arlington Cemetery parking lot, which opens at 8:00 AM. and walk back across the bridge to the Lincoln Memorial (Ohio Drive) and then walk back to the car after the memorial service.
Transportation to the International Festival from the cemetery: - The Arlington Cemetery subway stop will be open after the memorial service and can be taken directly to Federal Center
SW, the Metro stop most convenient to the conference grounds where the International Festival will be held. Please remember to have change for the subway ($.80/person). -If you drove to the walk and memorial service and wish to drive to the International Festival, remember that there is very limited parking near the conference grounds on the Mall. Parking may be found south of Independence Avenue.
