Youth Specialties Conference 2006!

Tangent: I was supposed to meet today for Quail Hollow to determine the "next steps" this morning but the meeting got postponed due to illness of the Assoc. Pastor. I think this job is in the bag so another 24 hours isn't a big deal but I woud kinda like to know for sure that I'm employed :) But, a part of the job that I'm assuming (which is a bad thing to do but I the right signs are in place) I'll get is continuing education money. So, I got to thinking about where that could be wisely spent . . .

Last year I know Joel went to the Pittsburg Youth Specialties conference and Ben and I wished we could go. So, I went to youthspecialties.com to check out when/where the conferences would be held this year. CHARLOTTE FREAKING NORTH CAROLINA and CINCINATTI FLIPPIN' OHIO. So, it'd be cool to all go to the same one and hang-out and what not so I was thinking maybe we could get together some sort of consensus on Cincy or C-lot and begin developing plans accordingly.

If we do Charlotte I could make sure you guys have a place to stay for free obviously :) The drive is 7-7.5 hours and not bad. And best of all, you could escape Ohio at the end of November/beginning of December. And since I'll know the host city by that point, we'd know the cool places to go when we're not doin' the learnin'. So, my vote is for Charlotte but I'm definitely open to Cincy should you guys want to do that. I realize that Joel has a bunch of folk at his church that probably want to go too so that might be a big consideration.

Anyways, let me know what y'all are thinking and we'll go from there!
