Looking Great For 2010!!!

There are so many components, that go into Festival, I will try to separate issues and groups within the Festival. We are expecting the largest amount of attendees for an independent convention ever.
"Thank you," to all those that have volunteered. YOU are the folks that will make "Festival" possible. Association lines are erased with this convention. That was our goal and we have reached it!

Karen Reifinger Comment by Karen Reifinger on July 5, 2010 at 5:44pm
thanks mike. on my end, looking for basic structure so theres's something to hold the form of manifestation... need something to hold the platform and thoughtforms. if you want to put water in a cup, you need a cup, aye?
Mike Hinkle Comment by Mike Hinkle on July 5, 2010 at 5:43pm
Volunteers are coming in. We have twice as many as last year already. Folks are signing up for classes to take advantage of the discount. We are going to be fine guys! It will be the best yet!

I believe the calendar is already set for 2011 on the WMF website with the symposium set for Friday evening I believe. Other activities involving students may have to be added at a later date. Flexability is the key! I will be arriving on Saturday or Sunday day not set yet, July 9 or 10, 2011, and stayig through July 18 or so. Much to do in the way of set up. It takes several days with just a handful of us doing it. We need many more hands to make light work. If you can volunteer to help with the 2011 World Massage Festival Please let us know. WE NEED YOU!
