Linda how absolutely wonderful, if only I could be there. If there a tiny, tiny possibility that you could be there and maybe put some important details on here. I know that is such a lot to ask, too much almost, but just wondering.
Maybe it will be put on the net anyway??

I would absolutely LOVE to go to an event like that. Too bad I can't just hop on a plane and get there. I don't even have any family that lives out there anymore that I could stay with. You'll have to update us on how it went.

I had wanted to video record the conference, but we just don't have the funds to do it. I hope that this becomes an annual event, and with more time to get it done, I can probably get someone to sponsor the event.

I've asked the speakers to submit PowerPoints of their talks. I'm sure that no everyone will comply, but I'll post what I can.
