hank you Louise McCombs and Sandra-Leigh
Serio for a wonderful experience at the
Midwest Astrology Conference in Ann Arbor, MI
at the beginning of August. I have been to many of
the larger conferences; UAC, NCGR, ISAR but had
never experienced a regional conference. This was my first and I cannot
express how much I enjoyed it.
Every lecture I attended was better than the one before. I would be
hard-pressed to say which lecture I enjoyed the most. One thing is for
sure, I was surprised at how much I learned — and that is the beauty of
this conference. There were world-class astrologers teaching other
hungry astrologers. Hungry astrologers in the sense of finally, at last,
being with like-minded people. It was wonderful.
I also manned OPA’s table at MAC and we got lots of inquiries, a paid
new member and retreat attendee — and a few potential members.
Since I live north of Chicago, in Evanston, IL, it wasn’t a difficult drive
to make. In this drive, though, I accomplished the loss of a fear. I’ve
always had a fear of high bridges and would avoid the Chicago Skyway
at all costs. On the way to MAC and Ann Arbor, as I say the exit for the
Chicago Skyway, I said ‘what the heck’ and went for it.
I don’t know how many people attended MAC. I wasn’t expecting there
to be, I’m sorry to say, much more than 30
people. My best guess is that
there were approximately
200 people in attendance.
That makes me happy for
the future of MAC - that
Louise and Sandra-Leigh
put on further conferences
and, hopefully, in Michigan.
