UPDATE!

We are happy to announce that we will have a silentlambs “courage” award banquet on Saturday evening. The program will start at 6:30 with a catered meal and presentations that will follow. While part of the recipients will be in absentia those that are present will receive their award and asked to say a few words if they wish to do so. If you plan to be there for the banquet please notify silentlambs as soon as possible so as for us to have a number to supply the hotel for total attendance. We might mention the banquet as well as the entire conference is an expense that will be cared for through your donations. The meal figures at around $30 per person as well as the hospitality suite for Saturday morning welcome, Saturday after the banquet and Sunday morning. If you are not able to come to the Silentlambs Summit but you would like to contribute to help someone else attend it would be very welcome as there is a need in this area.
