ASP® – IAHSP® Conference: Cherished Memories Forever
Dear Great ASP® – IAHSP® Educational Conference Attendees,
Everyday I think of you. What a fabulous conference we had. And that is because of YOU!
This was our 9th Staging conference and I believe it is the best one or one of the best conferences we have ever had!
Each of you contributed so very much. Your spirits were totally those of care, love, sharing, and bonding together as a wonderful group! I can feel your spirits as I write to you.
I thank each of you for attending! YOU made a real difference by being there with all of us. I thank our demo table presenters, our Meet the Pros – Pros, our Educational and Motivational Speakers, I thank our panel members, I thank you all that participated in our IAHSP® Foundation Auction and gave from your hearts, time, energy and dollars. I thank our great sponsor vendors for their participation. I thank our great committee members who really helped me work on our conference as they invested their time, ideas and energy into helping bring our conference to life. What a real difference each of you made, no matter your role, you made our conference the BEST!
I am so excited to share with you that we raised for our IAHSP® Foundation over $40,000! This is a new high, a record, and that is because of you! Thank you to those of you who contributed items for our silent auction and for our Live Auction! The trips ended up being a real money raiser. Yet each and every item donated raised money for our foundation and was important! And thank you each and every one who donated any item and anyone who purchased an item. Each dollar ads up and goes totally for good for those in need. Our IAHSP® Chapters who participate in WWSSW® this next year will benefit from some of the money raised as they do their IAHSP® Chapter projects to help those in their communities. It is all about giving back as you know.
I want to thank each of you for your loving thoughts you each wrote on pink paper that was then wrapped in the roses! So beautiful your words are. They went straight to my heart. I am saving what you each wrote forever. They mean the world to me! Thank you. I am also so very honored by the award you presented to me. It is sitting in my Living Room where it shall remain. Each of you honor me by having become an ASP®. The words that some of you told me filled my heart with such joy as the tears ran down my face. You are each make the world a better place by who each of you are. I thank Jennie Norris, ASPM® for spear heading this honor. I thank our International IAHSP® Board for their support and heart felt participation in making this happen. I thank Jeanne Westmoreland, ASPM® for making the roses. And I thank each of you that made the evening an event I shall remember for the rest of my life. Again you are each so wonderful and awesome!
It is hard to believe that we were in the Useless Bay Country Club a month ago. It feels to me like it was just yesterday as I relive each of the days with you and the wonderful education, energy, spirit and friendships that took place.
Again, thank you each for believing in yourselves and investing in yourselves by coming to our ASP® – IAHSP® Conference. You know first hand why every ASP® should really attend. Blessings to each of you!
With appreciation for you.
