I was telling Will and the rest of the folks on the most recent Projects Committee conference call that in 25 years of field events I have never experienced a better combination of good will, infrastructure and hospitality on the part of our partners.

I am hoping that if we do well this year, we'll be able to forge (I couldn't resist) a permanent annual partnership with these fine folks. They have supported us with solid project management, 1st tier food and facilities, and most importantly with a welcoming and can-do mind-set that has delivered much of what we struggle for on other events.

Spend a moment with the following links and see if you can read between the lines. Tens of thousands of people from all over the world love this place and are moved by the transformative power of hand work in the company of some of the best in their fields.
