26
00:01:39,960 --> 00:01:38,739
the people around the Midwest we're not

27
00:01:41,729 --> 00:01:39,970
going to be fancy we're not going to

28
00:01:43,830 --> 00:01:41,739
bring in the big movie stars or TV

29
00:01:45,600 --> 00:01:43,840

30
00:01:48,410 --> 00:01:45,610

experiences we don't charge an Arama leg

35
00:02:01,020 --> 00:01:58,479
the same conference in New York probably

36
00:02:05,279 --> 00:02:01,030
anywhere fertility 5/100 of the person

37
00:02:06,179 --> 00:02:05,289
here it's 10 to 15 dollars and we got

38
00:02:08,880 --> 00:02:06,189
food

39
00:02:11,250 --> 00:02:08,890
got a great audience we you meant

40
00:02:14,789 --> 00:02:11,260
capacity and let we sold out of food

41
00:02:16,559 --> 00:02:14,799
from one day for today's event so we are

42
00:02:18,900 --> 00:02:16,569
getting better each year some people

43
00:02:21,839 --> 00:02:18,910
speakers have been coming since the day

44
00:02:24,150 --> 00:02:21,849
we started seven years we have benders

45
00:02:26,369 --> 00:02:24,160
that have been coming for years and

46
00:02:28,500 --> 00:02:26,379
they're grandfathered in our prices and

47
00:02:30,839 --> 00:02:28,510
they go a little bit because of the cost

48
00:02:32,970 --> 00:02:30,849
of the new structure facility and that's

49
00:02:35,070 --> 00:02:32,980
another thing it's over the years we

50
00:02:38,039 --> 00:02:35,080
start out with a little bitty restaurant

51
00:02:40,410 --> 00:02:38,049
and we went to Lake lotawana which was

52
00:02:42,690 --> 00:02:40,420
the nice location then we went to sugar

53
00:02:45,960 --> 00:02:42,700
creek gym and now we're here at the

54
00:02:47,550 --> 00:02:45,970
Ivanhoe Masonic Lodge and that opened up

55
00:02:49,110 --> 00:02:47,560
a whole new window but we hope to be

56
00:02:51,059 --> 00:02:49,120
here for the next five to six years

57
00:02:53,520 --> 00:02:51,069
we've already made an agreement on that

58
00:02:57,059 --> 00:02:53,530
so bringing all these people together

59
00:02:58,949 --> 00:02:57,069
year after year sharing all this it's

60
00:03:01,589 --> 00:02:58,959
something that we look forward to we

61
00:03:04,140 --> 00:03:01,599
plan on doing it every year and it will

62
00:03:05,819 --> 00:03:04,150
be a minimal cost and we really hope

63
00:03:08,490 --> 00:03:05,829
that everybody enjoys the experience

64
00:03:11,520 --> 00:03:08,500
