- HOTEL SCARE
Yesterday I heard from several of you that our block of 2007 conference
hotel rooms were sold out at the Denver Adam's Mark hotel.  It was a false
alarm - just a glitch in the reservation system. But in checking this out, I
learned that reservations are running way ahead of any previous year.  So,
if you know you're coming to the 07 Smart Marriages conference, call and
make your reservations.  In the meantime, I'll get busy and firm up overflow
hotel space.   For hotel reservation information:

For discounts on United Airlines: http://www.smartmarriages.com/travel.html

Before you reserve flights or hotel, you might want to read about the fun
things to do while you're in Denver and extend your stay.  I'm definitely
going to stay a few extra days and watch the fireworks with the Rockies as
backdrop. Check out: http://www.smartmarriages.com/denver.robredo.html

And, you may also want to wait a few weeks until I get the pre and post
conference Institutes posted.  I'm working hard, almost have them
ready.....almost.

- 49 UP 
> Diane,  
> I just saw "49 Up," the latest in a series of documentaries in which the same
> group of ordinary people has been interviewed every seven years since they
> were 7 years old (back in 1963). "49 Up" was just released on DVD here in the
> US, and in it we learn that a couple whose marriage seemed doomed in "42 Up"
> have not only stuck together, but they are closer than before. Very "Smart
> Marriages." In fact most of the "Up" films have had interesting points to make
> about marriage, even the first (in which one of the little boys expresses a
> fear of marriage because he's afraid his wife will make him eat his
> vegetables). If I had to pick one from the series for a discussion of
> marriage, I'd pick "42." All are available on DVD and they are addictive!

Thanks for the heads up.  I'll go rent it immediately. I love this series
and second Virginia's endorsement. - diane

- JOB DESCRIPTIONS 
I just posted three new Marriage Education job descriptions at:
http://www.smartmarriages.com/jobs.html
Note that these three are due by end of this month.

To the rest of you: please send your job announcements.

I've been asked this week if I'd be willing to post Marriage Education jobs
that are NOT part of the recent grant awards.  Yes, I will.  No fee to list
jobs.  Please send as email text and follow the postings on the site.  -

- SUCCESSFUL GRANT RECIPIENTS

I'm asked almost daily if I will post additional successful grant recipient
"descriptions".  I can't post them if I don't receive them.
The idea is to help networking.  Follow the format at:
