On October 4, 5, 6, 2009, we had our Region 11 fall meeting at Wildwood Conference Center in Harrisburg, PA. It was a great learning and networking experience for everyone who attended! Mike Baker did a phenomenal job as the site director. There were lots of good sessions pertaining to leadership, social networking, promoting your campus to outside groups and to your internal colleagues. Everyone had an opportunity for fun and relaxation at the local brewery and casino. We also got a chance to see the highlights of the upcoming Annual Conference in Louisville, Kentucky in March 2010. Thanks to everyone who attended the conference!

I had a group on campus for the day and I got a call from the registrar for the group, asking if we had a private room with an electrical outlet where one of the attendees could use her breast pump. Never had that request before! I hung up the phone from that request and my phone rang almost immediately. It was the piano tuner who had come to tune several pianos for a group coming to campus the following week. "Suzanne, did you know the grand piano is missing from the Chapel?" The grand piano is missing?! How does a grand piano disappear? Of course, it turns out it had been taken out for some work over the summer, and no one in Campus Ministry had let us know about it. So my most memorable day of the summer of 2009 was the day of the breast pump request and the missing grand piano. You never know what might happen in a day of the life of Conference & Event Services!
