2009 Koach Kallah Convention -- Registration is Open! 
What is this? An invigorating Shabbat community with all the ruach you could want, learning opportunities, community service, social events, and a change to meet Conservative students and leaders from campuses all over North America. 
Hillel has offered us a significant amount of money to subsidize the trip, and we've got even more ways to get funding on top of that.  Now what? Registration is now open for this fabulous convention, which runs from Feb 26th to March 1 at the Brandeis-Bardin Campus of the American Jewish University in Simi Valley, CA.
