Can't believe that the Conference festivities start in six days! Every year about this time I swear that I will never do this again but I always do it again anyway, as you all know. And this year has been less work than I usually have because of my great team of Leah Hinds, David Lyle, Regina Semko and Sharna Williams. And those are just a few of the main people that help the Charleston Conference continue. There are many, many, many more helpers who y'all will meet!

This year the weather has been cooler than usual and actually got into the 30s one night, unheard of. But -- it is supposed to get back in the 70s by Thursday and though they are predicting some rain some of the time (Monday and Tuesday and maybe Wednesday) our teams are working hard to prevent it!

Can't wait to see all of you! Have a great trip! Love to you all, Katina
