I'm trying to get an approximate head count so I know how many rooms to block off at the hotel. I have requested room rates for singles, doubles and quads. Feel free to find roomies for the event. I am trying to keep this cost effective for everyone.

More details as promised..

I have three meetings with three different hotels tomorrow so hopefully I'll have that info to you no later than thursday or friday.

Confirmed speakers.

Mary Jo Rapini- Body Image and Sexuality

Chef Leslie Moore- Band friendly recipes

Dr. Frank Veninga- Importance of staying in touch with your surgeon

Dr. Robert Sewell- meeting w/him tomorrow to see what his topic will be on.

Cher Ewing- Is your band failing you or are you failing your band (my story)

Speakers still seeking.

Personal Trainer- I have a meeting with two later this week

Nutritionist- should have one line up this week

Plastic Surgeon- contacting today

Once I have a complete list of the vendors I will be posting who they are.

Three make-over's will be done on Saturday after the conference and before the big dance- hair, Make-up and new outfit (I can't wait to see the transformation of the recipients)

I also want to put together a slide show of all the before and after, so if you want to be included I'll need you to send me your before and after pictures. No rush on this, just planting the seed:cool2:

I am working on getting some really cool gifts donated, once I know more you will too.

Everyone has shared great ideas, suggestions and support for this conference. Keep'em coming I am on the ball.

For those who would like to volunteer, please send me a private message and I'll be in touch.

This conference is about you and what you want; it will not be successful without "YOU"!!

Will have this info no later than friday.

I cannot wait until October. Still going through pre-approval process and I will make sure the individuals I know are banded know about the conference. :biggrin2:

I would love to go...Please keep us posted.

it's only a 5 hour drive for me too, i may try to come also. keep me posted.

coachcher, put me down for a double room because myself and husband would be coming, we both use c=pap and prefer not to share a room with other people,, I am going to a support meeting tonight and will take this inform with me to pass on for you. ok,, catch up later, sugrbear

Oh yeah, coachcher, that would be for the entire conference,, and if for any reason that would change and my husband has to cancel coming, I would be happy to share the extra bed with another single lady at that time. Thanks Sugrbear

I'm in. Where are you thinking of holding the conference? Or did you post and I miss it (re-reading, I see that I was unclear. What venue specifically are you thinking of holding the conference in?)

How much will the entry fee be for the conference? I'm thinking about using a sick day to fly down on Friday from Wyoming. My mother lives in Plano & would probably go with me, too!

The cost is $150.00. This includes the cost of the conference plus dinner Friday, and lunch Saturday.

If you want to stay in the hotel the cost will be $99.00 a night.

Cher- How many people do you anticipate will attend? What if we are bringing a support person with us...do they still have to pay the full 150? I don't want to come if I'll be going alone & I don't see my mom wanting to pay 150 to get her skinny butt in the door! :tongue2:

I would like to go. That sounds interesting:w00t:

CoachCher,

My husband and I will will attend. Please count us in. I live inRichardson, TX so no need for a hotel. Keep us posted.

Cher- will the entry price be the same at the door?
