Guest guest Posted April 3, 2011 Report Share Posted April 3, 2011 Hello all, I just returned earlier today from the Districts 6 & 9 joint regional in Moline, IL and I wanted to send out Kudos to Dan & Jenn Verscha and others who hosted the regional! I am not sure the exact number but if I had to guess, I'd say we had around 170 attendees. We stayed at the Stoney Creek Inn which is a great hotel chain, a very homey and woodsy feeling! It was also very nice to have a continental breakfast everyday, one less cost! Friday night after the hospitality room we took the loop tour taking us between IL and IA to different bars for a few spirits and listen to music. Saturday after the meetings we went on the Deere pavilion tour, later that night had a great banquet and DJ dance with games thrown in for the kids. It was wonderful to see two districts come together and make new friends! It was a tad depressing though as my old self of 31 was clueless on a few of the songs the DJ played while the dance floor was filled with a teen explosion! I don't consider myself old, but seeing the plethora of teens and young 20 somethings on the dance floor did hit me that the " torch " has been passed. I don't know about other districts, but being a member for 10 years, we really do have a feeling of family in our district. I hope those in Wisconsin and Illinois who are not active will come back and attend a D6 regional, you are really missing out! I did just want to send a shout out though, I know it seems much easier to complain than give Kudos so I wanted to throw something positive out, especially when it's on the shoulders of volunteers! - Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
