Any interest in a Regional Conference in Central NY??

Hi all, I was at the East Coast Conference in Pittsburgh...it was great. I spoke with some people about a regional conference taking place in Central NY ( Syracuse ). I need to know if anyone would be willing to attend if a conference could be arranged. Syracuse is located in Central NY. I know for some the distance may be prohibitive, but we need to put out the "feelers" so to speak. Distances are approximate: From: Hartford, CT 254 miles From: Rutland, VT 214 miles (Our son went to Green Mountain College in Pultney) From: Montpelier, VT 280 miles From: Burlington, VT 261 miles From: NYC 247 miles From: Buffalo 150 miles From: Binghamton 73 miles From: Albany 144 miles From: Massena 161 miles From: Watertown 70 miles From: Rochester 87 miles From: Scranton, PA 130 miles I would need to try to get at least 100 people who would be willing to attend in order to pursue this further. I am going to check all of the support groups in our area, and it would be great if you could check with yours. Syracuse is a beautiful city with wonderful facilities to hold such an important event. So how about it??? Any takers??? Email me or post here if you would think about it. All my best, Debra
