I'll see if they have anything interesting to say and share it with the rest of you.  I'll see if I'm brave enough to ask a question or two.

Hey, Kathy, this sounds great. Each topic is one that cycles through here every couple of months, or even every couple of weeks. Please take good notes, or even take a small tape recorder. I hope you can report back to us that it was well worth your time.

Take good notes, that is competely across the country!

I'm pretty good at taking notes; I'm also helping they will have hand-outs.  I'll see if I can borrow a small tape recorder from someone.  That would be the best, especially when it comes to the Q and A part.

I'll mail my registration form and check in the next couple of days.  

I'm looking forward to this!
