Dear Mayor/Partner in Homeland Security:

We are happy to invite you or your representatives to join United States Senator Frank Lautenberg at his Homeland Security Grant Seminar, which will be held on March 29, 2004 at Monmouth University in Long Branch. The Seminar will take place from 9:00 AM - 12:00 PM at the University's Pollak Theatre. (See directions on reverse side).

As you know, we all are faced with the tough task of not only identifying what Homeland Security/Law and Public Safety funding opportunities exist, but also how to go about securing those dollars. Since returning to the Senate, Senator Lautenberg has been a leading voice calling for Homeland Security funds to go to areas that need it most.

Now, to help achieve that goal, Senator Lautenberg has arranged for a representative from the Department Homeland Security to speak with us about how to ensure our municipalities and counties have the necessary tools to successfully compete for federal Homeland Security funds. In addition, we will receive a report from the NJ League of Municipalities Homeland Security Task Force, and also speak with Senator Lautenberg.

Due to limited space, you must RSVP by Monday, March 22nd. To RSVP, please complete the attached form and fax it to (973) 639-8723, or email "frl_events@lautenberg.senate.gov". In your email, please be sure to include the names, titles and phone numbers of those attending. Because of space limitations, registration is limited to two people per municipality. If you wish to send more staff, please indicate so on your fax or email, and we will do our best to accommodate you.

Please feel free to contact John Bang or John Fuller of Senator Lautenberg's Newark Staff with any questions at (973) 639-8700.

We look forward to seeing you on March 29th!
