September 5-8, 2006 about 700 bicyclists and pedestrians from all over the US and Canada are going to come to Madison for the Pro Walk/Pro Bike Conference (which runs concurrently with the Wisconsin State Pedestrian/Bicycle Summit).  Some of those folks who are coming are advocates who don't make much money and need a place to sleep that is free (since the conference costs $535!)  Won't you lend a bed?  At this time...I need space for 50 people.  Please help.

Please respond with the following information:
1. How many beds do you have available?
2. Is there additional floor/camping space at your house (for how many)?
3.  Will you accept male or female?  If not, which is okay?
4. Is it a non-smoking house?
5. Do you have pets? Specify kind.
6. Are you on a bus route?
7. How far is the bike ride from your house to the Capital?
Expect that PWPB folks may need to stay from Monday night through Friday or Saturday.

What's that you say?  You want to go to the conference yourself, but can't afford it?  Go here and apply for a scholarship that will knock the cost down to $235...
