Here are some of the comments from last year’s event...
I can’t wait to share what I saw with my staff.
Last night was great. What a blessing! I bought one of Mr. Hill's CDs, "It's Worth It!" The song is so inspiring!
I have been meaning to e-mail you to tell you how much I enjoyed the event. There honestly isn’t one day that goes by that I don’t think about Dr. Bartlette (last year's speaker)…I would laugh and then a minute later I would cry…… You really have a terrific thing going and I would love to be a part of it next year.
Thank you again for the experience- I truly will never forget it.
