National Conference in Milwaukee, June 2008

The conference in Milwaukee was a great success and we all received good information on current technology and information for the future.

I personally went to several workshops on standards and career clusters that was helpful for my education committee work.

All of the speakers that spoke to the large group were full of interesting information that we can all use in our lives and our careers.

Jean Knack was installed as the new national treasurer. Donna Butterfield did a great job representing Minnesota in the TOY awards. It was great to see Melanie Nelson get her award for business.

The sales table did very well. We sold every navy blue t-shirt that we had and took some orders to send out t-shirts. We still have black t's, spoons and aprons that you can order from us. If you would like any information on the products please contact Cherry Cramer or Jane Hinrichsen. Thanks to all of those that helped with the product sales.

We are hoping to sell product at the district K meeting and at the Stout conference if the table price isn't too high.
