CONVENTION WRAP-UP

If you were not part of this remarkable

conference at The Horse Shoe Farm in North Carolina, you missed out

on a good one!

Here's some comments from attendees answering the question about their thoughts regarding the

boutique-style setting:

"Very relaxing and beautiful venue

to learn our software."

"Better accommodations.  Unique experience with the surrounding area.  Food.  I like experiencing the unique features of a boutique location."

"More intimate setting."

"Experiencing this, it will be hard to go back to a hotel.  You won't get the camaraderie and intimacy at a hotel."

"More intimate, view, peace, safety."

"This is so much more personalized and enjoyable.

Big hotel venues can stay with state and/or national associations.

Let's be special."

This is the Magnolia Manor where everyone congregated and friendships were formed.  We had sessions here.  We had specially cooked dinners by Susan Burgess.  We had a fire starter, Christa Townes, who lit the fire pit for us.  And we had wine, along with lots of laughter, comforting arms, and a moment in time none of us will ever forget.  It was like we were in our own little world for three days, and it was simply marvelous.
