that aside from the sheer delight of being there... the ripple effect of such a meeting will be outstanding... I can tell all here about the wonderful experience but I am preaching to the choir... the true positive effect will be all the people that go back home and talk and talk about this (like me) to all their friends and family when they get back home... priceless!!
