Hi beautiful 4C women!!!

DRUMROLL PLEASE.......
 
This is the last year conference will be held at DeSales University in Pennsylvania! Next summer we will be in Minnesota at the beautiful Hamline University campus.

SO....if you have been on the fence about attending you should definitely take advantage of the ongoing registration to visit our founder's home town! I always feel like the spirit of Jean Kirkpatrick is attending conference along with all of us.


Registration Deadline
is Sunday, May 19th
at 11:59 pm US Eastern.
(Late Registration Period through June 2nd with 10% Late Registration Fee; some limitations apply.)

Some more exciting news: We have so many new activities and opportunities to dive in to connection and sisterhood this year! 
  • Murder Mystery Dinner on Friday night. (NOTE: this is currently sold out, but, we are working on getting additional space and there may be attendees who cannot make it last minute...and/or can be bribed - just kidding, no illegal bribes, please!)
  • A true exploration of our theme "Hello Happiness" by leaning into joy and fun - come ready to embrace your inner child and to abandon yourself to whimsy and merriment.
  • Welcome Wagon Mixers to meet new sisters, and a Legacy Lounge to explore WFS history - we are taking full advantage of our common areas this year! Selfie booth pictures, multiple face to face meetings every day and, of course, coffee and snacks!
  • Need some self care? Try yoga, meditation, massage, early morning walks, or bracelet making and other craft activities.
  • Surprise fun activities on Saturday. Bring your sunscreen!
  • First ever Saturday night dinner event, complete with dinner, dancing, and karaoke. Dress code is wide open...come in a gown, come in pajamas and bunny slippers, come in shorts, but please do come! (I voted for costumes...LOL.)
  • Absolutely fabulous speakers:Karen Drucker, Veronica Valli, Karlee Fain and Annie Grace...WOW!!!

We are already on track to have
record attendance this year.

Compared to last year...
Early Bird Registrations were up 15%!
By the end of April, we were up 20%!


Get yourself registered and in the queue for a room in the main dormitory, Donahue Hall. Space is limited to 100 rooms and we have almost completely filled the building! Now don't worry, because we can always accommodate more Sisters in another hall, but early registrants will be given priority consideration for rooms in Donahue.

We hope to see familiar faces and new faces, to make new memories and reminisce about 'the good ol' days', to learn, grow, and make friends to last a lifetime. 
Register Now!
Sincerely hoping you will be among the women making this the best conference ever.

Take the plunge...you are needed to help us all say Hello Happiness!

Sincerely,
