Hello! You are cordially and cord-less-ly invited to join your fellow 
comradicals on the SDS Action Camp, in Asheville, North Carolina, August 
15-17th. Deadline: July 28. ---- What you need to do next: ---- 1. Please fill 
out this registration packet and mail it to sdsactioncamp08@gmail.com
2. Please submit your promised registration fee by paypal (click the “Make a 
Donation” button on www.newsds.org). We prefer if you pay in advance so we can 
cover costs before the camp, but if you are unable to pay online, please bring 
cash or a check when you arrive at the camp! ---- 3. Get excited! (More excited, 
that is.) ---- SURVEY : Please fill out all these questions so that we can help

*Logistics Questions:*

Do you have special dietary preferences or needs? For omnivores, is 
vegan/vegetarian food satisfying and adequate nutrition?

(ex: quiet/early sleep, sober housing, non-sober housing, female-bodied space)?

Where are you coming from?

What is your mode of transportation?

If you are driving, do you have extra seats? How many?

Do you want us to help you find a rideshare with another participant?

When are you planning to arrive?

How much can you pitch in to cover the costs of the Action Camp (food, trainers, 
meeting space, materials, etc)? We are asking from $25-150. No one will be 
turned away due to lack of money. Please, in assessing your budget, consider 
your privelege and background. Registration fees help make the camp affordable 
for people who could not otherwise attend.

Do you have any other needs that we should know about to make the convention a 
better experience for you? (wheelchair accessibility, translators, etc) Or any 
other concerns?*
