At Summer Conference/meet up?

February 5, 2009

Thanks for ad day Chris. I'm posting this for Christina who's in charge of

this think, it's the AT Sunconference that is generally held every year,

although wasn't last year... ANYWAY, check out the following and also join

the Sunconference list... I'll get the addy in a bit.

Hi Guys,

It's been a while! I sure hope you're having a good year so far.

I'm still in compulsive savings mode, and planning a big move.

However, now is a good time to get together as a group. The

Gardening, Thrifty Spending, & Urban Homesteading movements are in

bloom all over the country, leaving herb and aromatherapy enthusiasts

with a bunch of new opportunities. Let's have a weekend of it.

Our weekends are fun! It's a great opportunity to learn from one-

another. We have time to chat, activities to keep things moving, and

issues to address. We include everyone's opinions and ideas, and

discover new enthusiasm for AT, herbs, soaping, general crafts,

gardening, and more.

One of the unique factors in our weekends is the cost. We all donate

the total cost of the group meeting, and so the price is kept to a

manageable size. Everyone pays their own room and board, and hopefully

the hotel pays for the air conditioning!

Weekend: Friday Afternoon/Evening through Sunday Afternoon

Dates: July 31st to August 2nd

Location: Somewhere Hot in the Western US. Available by air, train,

or bus. Cheap hotel rooms must be available.

Possible Locations: Denver, Albuqerque, Tucson, San Antonio,

Sacramento, and Las Vegas

Tuscon seems to be cheapest, hands-down. Denver had the priciest

rooms listed, and fewest discounted flights, but is central. Las

Vegas wasn't all that cheap in the hotel area, but had cheaper flights

from either side of the country. Sacramento has a great location,

great prices on rooms, but isn't central to most. Same with San

Antonio - getting there is expensive for West Coasters.

1. Please let me know if you can work with these dates.

2. Also, pick your top 2 destinations, and we'll take a vote.

I'd like to hear back from everyone, so we can be as inclusive as

possible in this.

For those of you with your own business, you are encouraged to bring

product to sell. Everyone is also encouraged to bring a flyer or

business card, samples to share, etc.

We have a lot to talk about, and I can't wait to see you all this year!

Cheers,

Christina
