- CONFERENCE THEME HUMOR

At least I know you¹re reading - and that we have a several comedians in the
coalition. They were all funny, but here's the winner - also suitable for
sharing. And, yes, I'll  find out if the hotel in-room cable system has this
capacity. With this experiential workshop, golf, tennis, massages, mile-deep
beaches (see below) - we might sell out early. - diane

>> 31% have sex less than once a month
>> 48% of  men don't have sex more often because their spouse isn't interested
>> 33% of  women don't have sex more often because they're tired
>> 25% describe marital  sex as either tolerable or terrible
>> 

How about having Pat Love do a Hot Monogamy workshop in Orlando that would
be broadcast through the hotel's cable channel? Married couples could watch
in the comfort of their room and at least 1/2 of the workshop would be
experiential. It would be interesting to see the evaluations on that
session. - Dennis Lowe

Someone emailed this week to ask about airline and rental car discounts.
This guy is on the ball - had already made hotel reservation and let me know
that you can also reserve time on the links (golf, that is.)  And, in the
spa.  They're going to arrive early and play golf and get massages before
the conference.  Said they aren't interested in amusement parks but will
drive over to the Gulf of Mexico after the conference - it is one of their
favorite coastlines "you can walk out about a mile into the ocean".  That
sounds interesting..........  I haven't got airline or rental car discounts
nailed down.  I'll post those on the website and let the list know when
they're ready.  - diane
