District Conference Location for 2011

The District Program and Arrangements Committee is excited about promoting a new venue for District Conference this fall. November 4-6, 2011, our district conference will convene for the first time at the Lake Williamson Conference Center in Carlinville, IL. The facility contains motel-like accommodations, food service on site, ample space for meetings, breakout sessions, and silent auction, and many options for extracurricular activities (swimming, volleyball, basketball, walking, etc.), all for comparable prices of previous district conferences. Because the venue offers something for the whole family, the P&A Committee encourages families to attend. It is an opportunity for family interaction at a district event where "business" is the usual fare. Everything on site--food, meeting space, lodging--makes this an ideal place to hold a conference of our size. Watch for more information in the coming weeks about this exciting new conference venue and the opportunities this facility holds for more than just business as usual.
