1. Thanks! And keep doing this in Bend – I think it draws people from around the state (and no, I don’t live here  ).
3. I would like to hear about other communities’ child find activities. Are they positive or negative?
5. Excellent agenda! Well done. Good format.
6. It’s helpful to get together and hear what others in the state are doing.
8. Please find a different location for this meeting. Too many people crammed into small space.  Great lunch – yummy!
11. Thank you.
13. I think that it would be beneficial to have a conference room w/ tables. The room is too small and it was either too hot or too cold.
14. Well organized! Thanks to Dianna and others! Thank you letter from SICC to hotel for accommodations, paper cups – not Styrofoam, Great idea to donate leftovers! Yeah for the waste reduction!
15. As a first time attender, a little background info prior to attending would have been helpful. Thanks for organizing this event & for the special event during lunch.
16. Thank you!
17. I think it’s important for us to get together. I would prefer mtg. in a district bldg. – w/ adequate space & tables. Maybe Bend School District, ESD, or the community college. This room is too small, too hot, & too stuffy. A place with more than 1 bathroom would be nice.
20. Thanks for snacks, drinks, & lunch. Include a piece of paper in folder so we can take notes, much more engaging to have individuals presenting than on video, well organized, time well used.
21. Keep room not so cold, closer to Klamath Falls.
22. Keep up the good work!
23. If possible, I would like to see more networking time included. Even some kind of networking event the evening before would be nice.

Thank you for coming - see you next year!
