CIVICATION.
This is the last week to sign up for Civication with BEA! We have a few dates still open: April 15 & April 22. These are overnight trips.
Your overnight (leaving on Monday) includes dinner and a hotel stay (double room) Monday night, breakfast on Tuesday morning, and a briefing so you know what topics and issues need to be addressed with our legislators. An officer will lead each trip. You'll purchase your own lunch on Tuesday. OEA will pay for your sub. You'll leave about 4:20pm on Monday evening and return (usually) by 4:00pm on Tuesday.
We are limited to 2 additional people on these trips, so please sign up swiftly.
You'll receive an email with more specific details the week before your Civication.
