Schedule
Our opening session is
Wednesday at
9pm. The following day, Thursday, we have a full day of speakers, but
there is always plenty of time (and we encourage) question and answer
sessions
with the mixing of ideas in a friendly atmosphere. Friday's
session begins with a speaker and concludes with a moderated session
with an expanded panel. The forum concludes following lunch.
Spouses
are invited to
attend, and there is an abundance of alternative activities for those
not interested in Forum sessions. Please contact us if we can assist
with arrangements for outside activities. Breakfast, lunch and dinner
are held in the main dining room where portions are hearty and the food
is always an epicurean delight.
