ACNM Conference
Salt Lake City, Utah
May 26th - June 1st, 2006
|
|
| |
 |
Salt Lake City was cold and
overcast, but the mountains that surround
the city glistened in the sunlight.
|
|
|
 |
Our room was a "garden"
room, overlooking the pool, hot tub and
in the distance you could see the
snowcapped mountains.
|
|
|
By Sunday morning, the sun came
out so we could enjoy the beauty of this
spot.
|
|
|
|
We had three suites, side by side
(Thank you, Debbie!) so that we could use
these terraces for the MANA Reception.
|
|
|
This was one of the hotel
courtyards.
|
|
|
|
When we went out shopping, I
caught this glimpse of the Mormon
Tabernacle.
|
|
MANA Booth in the Exhibit Hall
|
 |
Our first task was to prepare the
MANA Booth for the Grand Opening of the
Exhibit Hall. (Abby Kinne, Debbie Pulley
and Carol Nelson)
|
|
|
 |
The space was small, but it
looked quite nice. (Gera Simkins, Debbie
Pulley, Carol Nelson)
|
|
|
We crammed a lot of stuff in a
small space.
|
|
|
|
Our booth got a lot of traffic
and we made great networking connections
when we attended the booth.
|
|
Bridge Club Meeting
|
 |
Unfortunately, most of the
meetings we wanted and needed to attend
were all scheduled for the same 3 hours,
so we had to split our time in each
meeting.
|
|
|
 |
Gera led the Bridge Club Meeting.
This was an unusually small group because
so many things were scheduled for this
time.
|
|
Home Birth Section Meeting
|
 |
Much to my delight, Saraswathi
Vedam was the new chair of the home birth
section.
|
|
|
 |
Again, a small meeting as half of
those at the Bridge Club wanted to be
here, too.
|
|
 |
Saras even demonstrated how the
new MANA Online Statistics site works.
|
|
|
 |
In a free, late-night moment,
Debbie played computer games! :-)
|
|
MANA Reception
|
 |
As usual, Debbie did a tremendous
job of planning and shopping and
preparing the food for our reception.
|
|
|
 |
These suites were perfect for the
reception as our visitors were able to
flow out onto the patio and move between
all three rooms.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
 |
Sure looks like everyone is
having fun! Many people came up to me as
they were leaving to tell me that our
reception was the "best."
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
 |
Late in the evening, Gera
graciously relieved me as bartender so I
could visit with some of our guests.
