2012 Convention
2012 CONVENTION! - Youth & Creativity Award Winners!
Millennium Hotel St Louis
Over $11,000 Taken in from the Trainer's Auction for National Youth Awards!
The hotel staff were super, the spectacular views of "The Arch" were breathtaking - many convention goers attended Blues Clubs, Museums, and toured "The Arch", its Museum, and road the Arch Tram to the the top.
While we were entertained by our own numerous activities and meetings, the hotel was hosting gospel groups and about 300 College students (all with live bands and music) - was a busy week!
Thank you again to the Clubs and Groups that helped sponsor the 2012 Convention!
