Come on and join us at our next conference!  You'll be glad you did!</div> <bR> <div> <B>CMMWC Committee</B><FONT SIZE="3" COLOR="#000000" FACE="Arial" > </FONT></div> <div> Cynthia Gowens       Debra M.

Last year's experience was so wonderful. I have even used some of the songs that we were taught and given with our church's youth choir. They were, of course, magnificent in their performance. Brother Raymond would have been proud of his song. We did "That's Why He Came On Christmas Day". I will continue to pray for you and your staff that you continue to do God's will. Thank you for caring."</div> <bR> <div> * Please keep Mime, Rhythm and Worship, and Sign Language. I like the number of workshops we attended. I liked the topics we had this year. I'd like there to be some time set aside for us to buy music. A specific place and time where the composers have their music displayed and we have ample time to "shop". </div> <bR> <div> * This was my first time attending the conference and I was blessed, and encouraged, and happy to return back to my choir to share the songs and things I had learned. Unlike GMWA, I can appreciate that this is specifically for children/youth. I also liked the "family" environment--you could meet new people because it wasn't a huge crowd. Since it's a short conference, I was concerned about enough time for the classes, but it was fine, time management was not a problem. BUT, I was tired on my way home! Great job! Great conference!!</div> <bR> <div> * I love the idea of Ph.D. instructors. Their presence and depth of knowledge is second to none. I was absolutely ecstatic throughout the entire conference, so much so that I left my shoe there! </div> <div>       Hotel accomodations were exactly what we needed, and your support team handled transportation, meals, and administrative with deft precision. I felt like family because everyone was so warm and personable. We lacked nothing! We wanted nothing! It was heavenly! I have already requested to change our serving Sunday to the 3rd Sunday in October (so that I can attend this year).</div> <bR> <div> * I was thoroughly blessed through this Children's Music Ministry Workers Conference. Every course was relevant, right on target in terms of the needs that we have, and the sessions were enlightening and refreshing. Thank you for having this conference."</div> <bR> <div> * The sessions were wonderful. I appreciate the time and effort put into handouts and presentations. It is a fun, work filled weekend. I wish there were a little more time for my nap! This is a well put together conference. Thank you!</div> <bR> <div> * I don't have any dislikes. I think the workshop is wonderful. I learn something new each year. A couple of years ago, there was a suggestion about receiving a certificate after you take so many classes. I would like to see that idea come to light. Maybe some projects that we have to complete by next time we meet. This way, it will encourage some of us (mainly me) to work outside of my "box".</div> <bR> <div> * All was well planned once again. I have no suggestions for improvement for next year.</div> <bR> <div> * I like the smaller, intimate size.</div> <bR> <div> * The schedule is nice.  8:30am is a bit early, but at the same time, it needs to be for everything that occurs. The food is good. The instructors are quite knowledgeable in their fields…</div> <bR> <div> * I like everything.  I look forward to this conference each year.  My goal next year is to bring someone new!</div> <bR> <div> * I like all the topics, the closeness that everyone seems to share.  All the music is great and can be put to good use.  My favorite class was <I>Singing and Signing</I>.</div> <bR> <div> * The fellowship has been truly inspirational.  I am sure my students will benefit from my experiences here.</div> <bR> <div> * I loved the conference and will be sure to spread the word to everyone I know that works in this ministry.</div> <bR> <div> * I have been blessed with a wealth of knowledge.  I am filled with ideas and inspired to go back to my church and share that which I have learned.  All classes I attended were good and all useful to me even though I am not a choir director, but a parent volunteer.</div> <bR> <div> * My favorite is<I> Singing and Signing</I>.  Oh what joy, and fun we have.  This is such a wonderful class.  I could never complain about anything, this is by far the best conference I have ever been to.</div> <bR> <div> * I like the level of preparation of the instructors (their background and credentials)…very inspiring and informative.</div> <bR> <div> <A HREF="id20.htm" TARGET="_top" TITLE="CMMWC Instructors"><U><B>CMMWC Instructors</B></U></A></div> <div> <A HREF="id21.htm" TARGET="_top" TITLE="Conference Classes"><U><B>Conference Classes</B></U></A></div> <div> <A HREF="id22.htm" TARGET="_top" TITLE="CMMWC FAQ"><U><B>CMMWC FAQ</B></U></A></div> <div> <A HREF="id23.htm" TARGET="_top" TITLE="CMMWC Registration Form"><U><B>CMMWC Registration Form</B></U></A></div> <div> <A HREF="id24.htm" TARGET="_top" TITLE="CMMWC Hotel Information"><U><B>CMMWC Hotel Information</B></U></A></div> <div> <A HREF="id37.htm" TARGET="_top" TITLE="Conference Schedule"><U><B>Conference Schedule</B></U></A></div> <bR> <div> <A HREF="id18_m.htm" TITLE="Childrens Music Ministry Workers Confere"><U>Back to Top</U></A></div> <bR> <bR> </td> </tr></table></body>
