[Nfbmo] State convention past and future

Thu Apr 2 15:20:38 UTC 2015

I think it was a great convention! There are so many people that I feel need a special shout out, but I am sure I would miss some, so to mention a few. Brent Ford, you did a very nice job as the MC, and I was impressed how you had everyone written out. Chris and the Lewis & Clark chapter did an awesome job as our host  A special thanks to all of you who helped and made the hospitality room a great success, THANKS! The foil to cover a plate for those who  had so many meetings, it was very helpful to be able to carry out.

The prayer breakfast was great, I loved the music, the only suggestion I would make for the future is to try not to wait so long before speaking, and singing.  All Thanks to President Wunder for his great Presidential report, and to all of you who made each and every agenda item interesting. I do not think there was one person who did not seem prepared.

Hi,
Heck, use reverse vip and charge $5 for the last five rows, ha.
A. people should move inwards instead of taking the first chair on the end which can make people think the row is full.
B. If you have difficulty hearing, build more time into your schedule and arrive earlier or ask someone if there are seats closer to the front.

I think the sound system worked really well. I had no trouble hearing the church service next door even from up front. In fact, I kind of wanted to sing on a few of those songs.  Just couldn't resist being a smarty here. 

Seriously, I think the P.A. system at this hotel did work well. There were plenty of seats closer to the front on Sunday morning and though you may be settled in at the back of the room, I think being proactive and moving forward can be an option that can help when there are distractions.

I think the sound system was lacking.  I sat in the back of the room on Sunday morning and unless the people in the front of the room ate the mike, we couldn't hear.

I liked the layout of the hotel and the agenda. The sound system was good. It did seem like the hotel was a little understaffed, and I felt that the rooms and closets were small. All though the hotel seemed understaffed, the staff was friendly and helpful. Gene Coulter and the Lewis and Clark chapter did a good job with organizing and hosting the convention. I have some thoughts on the election, but I'll have to write them later.

Or, maybe those two chapters would want to cohost  perhaps in Rolla. Of course, Show Me could host anywhere in the state. I write this now to give folks a chance to think about things and the feasibility of  any such hosting.
