The welcome reception was a noisy, fun success as attendees crowded into the exhibition space for food and drink — and accordion music. All the vendor booths were crowded as visitors stopped by to review products and services. And our partner exhibitors were kept busy answering questions and sharing material. At the IGGP, our two posters for the partnership showcase have drawn great attention. (see photo above)

People also were picking up materials sent by partners for display, so thanks to those of you who did so. We answered some questions and directed people’s attention to specific partners who might be able to help (stand by DAGV).

Vice President Ken Heger delivered welcome remarks on behalf of our president, Barbara Schmidt. And several board members joined Ingeborg Carpenter in leading the sing-along accompanied by the accordion player. If we get some photographic evidence of this event, we’ll try to post it!
