The dust has settled.

I just wanted to thank lots of our volunteers who made it happen. Like those who planned and prepared for the conference months in advance. Those who came early to set it all up, and those who stayed late to tear it all down and put it away. Those who kept the wheels turning at the registration desk, the gallery, the sound systems, the food line, the auctions, and found art all come to mind immediately. Those who donated items to the auctions and those who spent money at the auctions.

Of course we can all thank our demonstrators for imparting some of their life’s experiences upon us.

We were a bit down in attendance and income but that’s the way it goes. I hope you all learned something new, had a lot of fun, and enjoyed the comradery unique to our organization. I know I did. We sure had the picture perfect Fall weekend for it.

Thank you volunteers! We couldn’t do it without you.
