This June you are all invited to the 2nd annual Northwest Regional Debtors Anonymous Conference in Tacoma, Washington.

• The conference dates are June 17th to June 19th, Friday through Sunday.
• Our location is the beautiful campus of Pacific Lutheran University in Tacoma, just 30 minutes from Seattle.
• The conference is 3 days, starting Friday afternoon and running till Sunday afternoon.
• This years conference promises to deliver the same great spiritual experience as last year, with some special changes:
• We have chosen a larger site so more people can share in the gifts of the program together.
• We have chosen a site that has on-site lodging, so that fellowship and unity can really grow during the weekend.
• Our site has a full service cafeteria catering to dietary needs and built to serve full meals or a-la-carte.

We hope you will come to our website and register right away – last year was so amazing, and this year promises to inspire us all to “keep on trudging that happy road of destiny” together!

Visit the DA Washington State website for more details and to register.
