Dear Friends:

The North Carolina Community Health Center Association

invites you to register for the 21st East Coast Migrant Stream

Forum! The Forum will be held on October 23-25, 2008 at the Providence

Biltmore Hotel in Providence,

Rhode Island.

The East Coast Migrant Stream Forum is a regional conference

that is dedicated to improving health outcomes and health care delivery to

migrant and seasonal farmworkers and their families along the east coast.

It was created for health care providers, outreach and front-line staff that

are employed by federally-funded Migrant and Community Health

Centers. Since its

inception, the conference has grown into a training venue for staff from a

variety of health, social and legal agencies that serve and advocate for

farmworkers.

There

are still rooms available at the conference rate of $179.00+ tax or $209 + tax

for junior suites. Call the hotel directly at: 401-421-0700 and ask for

the East Coast room block.

In line with this year’s theme “Protecting Our

Earth, Protecting Farmworkers”, the conference is doing its best to

“GO GREEN” therefore no hard copy registration brochures will be

mailed out. Don’t worry though; you can still view the brochure on

our website at www.ncchca.org (under

events). Here you will find all updated information including

registration! You can choose to register online or download and submit a

completed form to us. Late

registration begins September 19, 2008.

Award (extended

positive change in the health and wellness of the farmworker community in the

“host state” of the East Coast Migrant Stream Forum or a cluster of
