Here's a thought
Wouldn't it be awesome if we could all meet one day in one place? How cool would it be if there was such thing as a mini conference for DailyStrength? We are all here because we all have something in common- the wonderful joys of a thyroid whether hypo, hyper, Graves, Hashi's, whether it's related to ourselves, a friend, a family member, or an acquaintence. We are all here for the support of another to learn as much as we can from another's experience. Does anyone know of any conferences for thyroid? Maybe we could start a once a year mini conference next summer and every year, move it around? We could charge a small fee (such as $100 to attend and include foods, activities, etc for 2 days) and/or get sponsors maybe and host it at a holiday inn conference center or marriott or something of the sort in a major city that has a major airport or an airport that southwest frequents since southwest is usually the least expensive. I'd be willing to do the research and get this started if I had people who were willing to attend??? Please share your thoughts on this!

Another thyroid board did have something like this going back a few years ago on the east coast. They\'d meet every summer and have a weekend blast and finish things off on a Sunday with a picnic at a park. Too bad they do not do this anymore. I\'d like to do this, but don\'t know if I could as I have severe RA and get about in scooters/wheelchairs. Maybe if hubby took a vacation and helped me out, I could do this. {{{hugs}}}
hmmm..... food for thought.... I\'ve been searching for anything of the such and haven\'t seen anything other than thyca conference but I was thinking more of something more casual.... more of a laid back, get to know each other atmosphere... my wheels are turning... I just need to grease em some more :)
This is exactly what this group did. They even shared pictures of their fun weekend for those who could not make it to the event. This was like a close knit group. Tell you what, I can help you with some additional ideas, if you\'d like? {{{hugs}}}
I\'m in! :)
