IMP meeting ideas

[Guest guest]

I propose we have the First Annual IMP Conference in a

nice mountain town 15 minutes from Colorado Springs

– that would be Woodland

Park. I think a long

weekend would be ideal.

Dates I would suggest (Gordon, if you can’t make

these, let us know so we can cross em off the list):

Memorial Day weekend (May 26-28 –

but only IMPing for the Sat and Sunday, allowing people to play more if desired

)

June 22-24 (Fri – Sun with

IMPing starting Sat am)

June 29-July 1 (F Fri – Sun

with IMPing starting Sat am, and people can stay in the area [Colorado] for the 4th of July

week if desired)

Agenda: swapping ideas, brainstorming, informal

presentations by IMPers on their practices, networking, and just having a grand

time hanging out together. Families invited – lots of fun stuff to

do, even if you don’t like hiking.

As I mentioned earlier, my husband and I can shuttle people

to/from the airport (preferably Colorado Springs,

but Denver is a

possibility if we have a group), and to/from lodging to wherever we will be

gathering. My kitchen is available, as is my house/backyard/floor for accommodations

(someone mentioned a big slumber party?)
