Every week is another special task for DS2016.  This week it was drafting media releases and fact sheets for the publicity that we will be sending out, beginning in July,  

In addition, I am trying to answer all of the emails from those wonderful individuals who have volunteered to be chairpersons or work on a committee.  Eventually this will be passed onto to someone else, but for now it is my job.

I also celebrated my birthday last week, taught school in Portland and am heading to Chattanooga for another school tomorrow.  Sometimes I don't know where to find the time. (P.S. Thank you to the over 250 who sent notes and messages for my birthday.)  And if you need to know, I am 67.

Last week we passed the 400 mark on registrations for DS2016.  And very soon we will reach the 500 mark, which is how many attended the first convention.  And we are still about 13 months away. We are looking at over 1,000 attending.

I am so glad that so many have taken advantage of the discounted, early-bird registration.   The earlier we book the hotels and venues, the better prices we get.  After October 1, some of those prices go up and therefore the registration fees will go up too!  

So it is good to start your registration now.  Taunya, at Branson Ticket and Travel, can work with anyone on splitting up the payments and making your registration easy.  Just give here a call.

And as always, should you have a question about anything, please feel free to email me. 

Santacerely,

Santa Tim Connaghan
