2013 District Conference, Cañon City, CO

Things that worked well:

It worked well to have the Wine Tasting and mingling on Friday evening, it set the tone for the whole weekend. The ladies were happy on Friday and they expected to be happy the rest of the time. It probably would have been better on the mingling if there were less tables and more room to walk around.

Good food and plenty of snacks and drinks during the day kept ladies happy, made a few ladies very happy with gluten free cookies.

Having the all girl color guard was a very nice touch, the Zontians seemed to appreciate it.

Having one of the Conference Chairs sit at front table, in a position to be able to get up and move around easily was convenient.

The group photo after the Saturday evening dinner was very nice. A group photo for each conference would be fun and interesting.

Really enjoyed Kathy Herin's light-hearted presentation Saturday afternoon, nice break after the meetings.

As always everyone likes to hear what the other clubs are doing, need to have a time limit when everyone gets up there to talk, 2 minutes?

Things that could be improved upon:

Need to emphasize more clearly that the District Board members still need to pay their own registration fees.

Zonta Store: Need to be more insistent on the Club's arranging for store space before the event. Only about half of the Club's let us know ahead of time that they wanted space. Be sure to have extra tables, table covers and chairs available for Clubs who just show up expecting a table.

Didn't have any special assigned seating at Saturday banquet for International rep, gov, lt. gov, past governors, etc.
The past governors especially wanted a special table, and like to be fussed over.

Time keeper needs to sit closer to the front, the speakers were having a difficult time seeing the signs.
