"I always like to include one of these in every presentation...make everyone just a little uncomfortable, : ) " Betsy Weissbrod

"The Temporary Tattoo Tumble" Tattoos of gunshot wounds, miniature kidneys, lymph nodes, etc. were there for the taking.

The Marines have "Semper Fi" With Lydia Gregg's anatomical gavel, it's "Semper Femur"

The Salon entries were all worthy of close inspection!

Animations and interactive salon entries were in bold display and easily accessed.

Exquisite details in the entries. All were impressed with the student category

NO RACE CARS! An homage to the talented and feisty Sue Seif

First-Timers were held in suspense before the commencement of the meeting. "They seem so serious up there!"

Lots of Hugs during the conference were promised...and delivered! : )

First-Timers were introduced to the giddy committee members

Jeni Fairman shares her insights, wisdom and love for cicadas with the First-Timers

The First-Timers were asked to introduce themselves and mention any special talent. Those of us who wondered to themselves, "What's a bird whisperer?!" were immediately answered. Some of us scanned the room to see where all the singing birds were hiding!

Jim Perkins asks "What's the point?" in his treatise on arrows and their usage in communicating information.

Arrows! Not Eros! although some hearts were certain to have been pierced during the conference!

Transfer of leadership...and more hugs!
