The PR Alpha is also available online at norwescon.org and contains links within the PDF to assist you in finding the information you are interested on the website.

Enjoy and watch for the PR Beta in February 2010!

You may notice that the progress reports are a bit condensed this year. We are making an effort to Go Green by reducing the size of the document that is mailed and providing members and friends of the convention detailed information at norwescon.org. This also allows us to redirect funds back into the convention budget, giving us more resources as we strive to make Norwescon 33 the best convention yet!
