The conference was a tremendous success: one person wrote on the evaluation form: "It's the best $100 I have ever spent."
Campaign to lower deficit of Conference as posted on Sibnet:
Re: Success and Deficit of International Sibling Confernce
" I definitely agree with the statement that
the conference was the best $100 I ever spent. I would add that it was also the
cheapest conference I have (as a 30-year veteran educator) ever attended. So
many wonderful presenters in a non-stop program, and on top of that all meals
included!
Dr. Bob told us all on the last day that the conference had a large deficit.
(15K) It is unfortunate that none of the big corporations responded with a
donation, but perhaps as we the participants of the conference still bask in the
beauty of our experiences, we could help to reduce the large deficit that ARI is
carrying by sending in our own donations.
Please, if you can afford it, send your donation to
Judy Bruen
Sibling Conference
ARI of Connecticut, Inc.
174 Richmond Hill Ave.
Stamford, CT 06902
(Put on check: for Sibling Conference.)
Just think of how much food would have cost had it not been provided for the 4
meals. Write a check and send it to ARI. We were the benefactors and we
should, if we can afford it, help to bring that deficit down.
It was great joining this group and I look forward to the next conference.

Dear Dr. Bob,
This letter is long overdue. I tried writing to you right after the conference, but something happened with my computer and I could not send it to you. I just wanted to let you know how helpful the conference was to my sister and I. I not only learned a lot of very useful information I met so many wonderful people. It was great being surrounded by people who understand you.
I also read the suggestion that one of the participants wrote about funding, I think that is a great idea and would love to help.
Thanks again for a life changing weekend. And can't wait until the next one!
Sincerely,
Cecelia Reiley
