[Fwd: The Giving Conference - Chicago - July 9-11]

[Ted Ernst]

Not sure if anyone's already reported back, but this was an amazing
conference.  I'm not sure that I can articulate any more than that at the
moment, but perhaps this message will spark some reflections from MichaelH,
ChrisC, DougG or SusanK who were all in attendance.  Hopefully I'll find a
way to add my thoughts along the way as well.  One outcome is that I've
started a blog at http://tedernst.blogspot.com  Want to come play with me?
:-)

peace,
ted
