Welcome aboard

St. Louis, January 26. The fourth cornerstone of the Auxiliary was alive and well on Saturday night of NTrain. The workshops were almost over, the meetings, for the most part, were history. Time for the "Social Mixer."

One of the greatest benefits of attending conferences, such as NTrain, is the opportunity to make new acquaintances and rekindle old friendships. Auxiliarists from across the country, sometimes for the first time in their Auxiliary careers, have an opportunity to share experiences and ideas with volunteers from other areas and regions.

A bit of cheese, some brew and an extra helping of conversation is the menu for the evening. The swapping of business cards and email addresses is the norm.

The most common question of the evening was "Will I see you in Orlando?" Of course that was reference to the National Conference (NACON) scheduled for the end of August in Orlando, Florida.

We hope to see you there, too!
