Convention Update

Posted on 12. Nov, 2006 by Brian Reid in General

The main program is over (and the real fun is beginning), and Dayv checks in to let me know how it went:

An amazing success. My fears of guys not liking the convention was quickly quashed. Walking around and checking in on the sessions, dads were involved, having a good time, and the most interesting was the most laughter I heard from the breakout sessions came from the depression and isolation session. I can’t thank all of the guys who helped bring the convention together enough. And mostly, I have to thank the guys who attended.

The session that ended the day was a discussion for planning ideas for next year’s convention. The energy and enthusiasm was great to see. I hope those that attended this year, go back to their home groups and tell them what a valuable resource the convention was, and that it was worthwhile taking the weekend away to be here.

Still waiting to get some more photos … should appear in the coming days, so keep your eyes on the box at the top of the screen (more blog posts are already in there …)

    I may make it next year. My wife had a job interview in KC this morning. It’d be a LOt closer to grandparents.

    I just returned from the convention myself. It was a great time and very informative for me. I also was able to meet a lot of great dads who are doing the same as I am and staying at home with their children. I look forward to attending the 12th Annual in 2007. I believe it is going to be scheduled on the weekend of November 16-18.

    I just wrote up a quick blurb about my time on my blog (link below). I had a great time. I’m very glad I went and I’ll definitely be going next year.

    Thanks again to all the guys who put in the back breaking work of bringing the convention together.
