Wow! What a Conference it was, I had an awesome time, each day was packed with tours, and speakers,great food,and parties in the evening. Auctions, raffles and awards,meetings,swimming,and much more. I arrived on Wednesday and stayed 4 nights. I met so many people I could never remember all their names. All across the United States and Canada all speaking English, but all with  a different accent of their own. It truly was an awesome experience. All coming together with the same interest, helping bluebirds and all their feathered friends. If you would like to view some photos of the event I have some posted on my website at  ambassadorforthebluebirds.com Click on My Photos,  and enjoy.
