If you've got a blog, how about spending a week in West Michigan this summer? Sand, sun, water ... and public policy.

The Acton Institute for the Study of Religion and Liberty is offering "A limited number of special fee and travel fellowships are available to those bloggers who qualify and are willing to document their experiences at Acton University on their weblogs."

ActonU 2008 will be held June 10-13, in Grand Rapids, Michigan's second-largest city. If you've got some extra time before or after the event, head west an hour for sun and sand dunes on the Great Lakes. I went last year, and it was a time of stimulating lectures and conversations.
