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!

Comment by Darcy Neibaur on July 5, 2010 at 5:39pm: 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!

Comment by Mike Hinkle on July 5, 2010 at 5:38pm: Date for panel (tentative) July 14 All lomilomi from 2-4pm

Comment by Gloria Coppola on July 5, 2010 at 5:30pm: Not anxious. Organized ;). I am just wanting the format /details so I know what we are doing for the panels. As Karen said, planning the 2011 calendar already for loads of visions! Darcy, Looking forward to having you in the class next year. :)

Comment by Karen Reifinger on July 5, 2010 at 5:26pm: gonna be lots of fun and profound bringing visions together. planning my calendar for 2011. light the fire, hold the torch! or is it the other way? :-)

Comment by Darcy Neibaur on July 5, 2010 at 5:26pm: I agree Mike. It is too early to be anxious about July 2011. I know Gloria keeps a full schedule with the school and all. I for one am looking forward to her teaching Lomi Lomi at the WMF in July 2011.

Comment by Mike Hinkle on July 5, 2010 at 5:21pm: I'm in. You guys are getting anxious already? lol Ready when ya'll are!

Comment by Gloria Coppola on July 5, 2010 at 5:19pm: Mike, Karen - we need to discuss what it is we are actually doing and then we can make a decision. Everything was vague and no details. Let's communicate.

Comment by Mike Hinkle on July 5, 2010 at 5:18pm: Get with you soon. Keep the Faith!

Comment by Karen Reifinger on July 5, 2010 at 5:17pm: great! looking forward to what evolves.. old saying: a community is not whole until everyone speaks... and heads are the same height. there are many who can effectively contribute. e alo-ha.

Comment by Mike Hinkle on July 5, 2010 at 5:11pm: Gotcha, don't give up hope, I never do! I'll figure something out!
