Are You Going?

Written by cycleguy on March 1st, 2010

I am stoked!  Several upcoming events have my name on them!  No, I am not speaking or anything like that.  I am making plans to attend two events in the coming months that have excitement and learning and leadership written all over them.

The first leadership learning opportunity coming up on March 25th is this one.  Ryan (techgeek to my blogging friends) and I attended the one in Granger, IN last year and came away fired up.  I can’t say enough about this guy being there and this guy is also going to be there.   If you haven’t already registered you should.  Seating is limited so you need to get on it!

The second leadership learning opportunity is April 29th and comes my way via this man and this offer.  I am honored that I was chosen to attend because of Pete’s graciousness.  It actually becomes a two-pronged event for me.  I have a daughter who lives about 10-15 minutes away from Faith Promise Church so I will have a chance to visit with her and mooch for a day or two.  Jo, my bride, is also coming with me but is spending the day with Tami.  I was wondering though: I know my blog isn’t read by many…okay I am at the bottom of the bottom…but if you happen to be reading this and plan to attend the conference, I sure would like to get a chance to meet you! I think it would be cool to put a face to a name and you will see that I look a lot more handsome than Dan’s caricature depicts me-just because he is fairly accurate about the (lack of) hair and the nose-does not mean I am quite like that.  🙂  I think it will be easier to find fellow bloggers at this conference than it will at CatalystOneDay.   Anyone going?

Are you planning on being anywhere to sharpen your leadership skills?

    Bill that is awesome! I am totally stoked for you. I won’t be attending those because the dates coincide with a denominational leadership summit, but I am looking forward to that 🙂 I am glad you get to see your daughter as well that is too cool.

    Ohhhh! Forgot to ask.. do you plan on giving Craig and/or Pete a hug?

    I really must get my eyes examined soon. Had to go through 5 groups of words before I could see them enough to type them! lol

    Michael: Sorry I won’t get to see you at either. My loss. And yeah, it is way cool that I get to see Tami. My wife is also getting off work and will spend the day with her.

    Camey: That is a real bummer for me. one of these days… but then again, sometimes the best place to learn is right where you are. There will be other times. if not ,then in heaven. Feeling better each day although I will be glad when I can take this stupid collar off! Met Craig last week and we have already talked about seeing each other this year again. He is one awesome guy! And I do look forward to meeting pete for the first time.

    Michael: yes it is but trust me when I say it didn’t take much when I asked Jo to go along. She went to her boss crying and begging not to let her go. Believe that and I have swamp land in Arizona I will sell you. 🙂 I just sort of wonder what kind of mischief they will get into without me to keep them straight.

  9. Michael says:

    moms are funny 🙂 right spot now…

    Wish I was but a bite far away for me. I am doing somethings on the east coast that are good later in the year I hope.

    I’m a follower.

    Sorry to hear that you won’t be able to make it Jim. Enjoy and learn from the ones you do go to.

  13. cycleguy says:

    Ike: Least you are honest and not trying to pretend whom you aren’t.

  14. Tami Grandi says:

    I do NOT get into mischief!

    Tami: with your mom along I guarantee mischief will happen. 🙂
