I would like to take the time to thank everyone that showed up this weekend to make the event a success. It was so awesome to see old faces, meet new ones, and getting to know others more and more as we all had the opportunity to talk.

I would like to personally thank all those that helped with the clothing exchange. We had 18 tables and two dress racks. All the tables were stacked high!! We had about 16 bags and 5 boxes left over. Thanks to those who helped bring clothes in for donation. For those that helped sort out the clothes - THANK YOU! I will not name names as will forget most of them (its a pain getting older) but you know who you are. If you helped out THANK YOU AGAIN!!!

Thank you to all the speakers, Dr's, vendor's and OH staff. Kim, 'Still Kim's Husband' Dave, Kristin, Bo and Jeremy - thanks for putting these conference's on for us. I know the hard work that goes into them; not only the weekend events, but the prior planning, scheduling, Dr visits, etc - so it means that much more!! Thanks again....

Thanks to the men that came to the mens talk. Glad yall came and hope you took something away from it. Heck, I thought since Mary Jo has her 'womens' sesson.......so can we have our session....

Let's push OH for another one in Texas next year.......

Thanks again to all......

Hi Sean,

It was great to see you again. Thank you for taking on the clothing exchange. I had an absolute blast at my 2nd OH conference. I think it should be automatic that OH has an event in Texas every year at either one of the following cities and in no particular order; Houston, Dallas, San Antonio or Austin.

People are so worried about what they eat between Christmas and the New Year, but they really should be worried about what they eat between the New Year and Christmas. ~Author Unknown
