24 Hours Left to Save…

FREE BWC for your Campus
This is a great opportunity for you or someone from your campus to win a full scholarship to Boston Winter Conference.
Just create a post for your campus on the BWC fan page on Facebook that says “Our campus is going to BWC” and then have everyone from your campus or anyone really, hit the “like” button. The campus post with the most “likes” between now and Noon on December 15 wins a full scholarship to BWC.
So for example, if you go to Providence College, you should go to Facebook and search for the BWC Fan page. Then either post “Providence College is going to BWC” or find a post that one of your classmates already posted there and the like it. Get your friends to “like” it. Heck, get your Mom to “like” it. You know she’s on Facebook anyway.
The campus post with the most “likes” before noon on December 15 wins and then I’ll pick one student from that campus who has pre-registered for BWC. So pay close attention to that last part.
You can’t win unless you complete a $50 BWC pre-registration (don’t worry, we’ll refund you $50 if you win). But you can help others win even if you can’t go to BWC. But if you can go, don’t miss the chance to win by forgetting to pre-register.
Ok, you’ve got less than one week. Let the best campus win!
Hack a free BWC before Monday
http://vimeo.com/17165419
In order for me to identify you, you must post the following on the Wall of the Boston Winter Conference Facebook Fan Page before Monday, November 29th, 2010. Type the words, “I am going to BWC”. Early Monday morning I will look for your message on the wall. If there is more than one who reads this message and posts on the wall, then I will pray and choose one of you at random. I will hack inside the BWC Registration database. If I find there that you have completed a $50 pre-registration for BWC 2011, then for one of you, and only one, I will pull the levers of the BWC Machinery and I will refund your $50 and give you a free BWC.
Remember, type the words, “I am going to BWC”, on the wall of the Boston Winter Conference Facebook Fan Page before Monday, and if you haven’t already done so, complete your $50 pre-registration for BWC 2011.
Need help paying for BWC?
Right now is a great time to ask your Pastor, Home Church Missions Committee or your Christian family and friends to invest in your attendance at BWC 2010. Many adults give at year end anyway for tax purposes and investing personally in someone like you is usually much preferred. Ask in faith that God will provide for your needs and step out in faith involve others in building his Kingdom. Read through this document (focus on the last section) for all the instructions on how to ask and what to do with gifts as they come in.
We have a winner!
Kathryn Smith from State University of New York College at Buffalo has won the final $50 scholarship for BWC. Congratulations Kathryn!
Update: Parking at BWC Deal
Update: Parking Passes at BWC
As mentioned here, Your best bet is to arrive by bus, train or plane and use public transportation (MBTA Public Transportation). If at all possible don’t drive to the Sheraton Boston. Parking can be expensive and challenging.
However, we have new information on the Parking Passes since our last update.
Anyone who does not pre-order their pass can still get passes but it will cost $36 (on-site when they show up) instead of $24.
And the deadline to pre-order the $24 pass has been extended until Dec. 27th.
Cost: $24 (pre-order) for January 1-6 (must leave the parking lot by 1:30pm on the 6th) – you can pay an extra $12 if you need to park the whole day on the 6th. Location: about 1.7 miles from the Sheraton on the MIT campus. Click on this link to see the location and directions: parking map
How to get to the Sheraton from parking lot: walk to Massachusetts Ave and take the 1 Bus across the river to the Hynes bus stop and walk about 3 minutes to the Sheraton. Cost of a bus ride is $1.50. You would also take the 1 Bus back over the river to MIT to return to the parking lot.
Other Details: You can come and go anytime. You will need to have the parking pass in your car at all times. MIT is not responsible for stolen items from your car. Just don’t leave anything of value in your car.
To order, fill out this form.
