conversations from the couch

Don’t forget to register for the extra discounts by tomorrow! Remember–the team sizes have been made more accessible–now there are great group rates for teams of 4+ and 8+! If you don’t know who is going to attend from your team–that’s ok! Just register additional attendees with the word “unknown at this time” and you can lock in the great rates by this early bird deadline and go back into your registration and add the names later on! ALUMNI–register with your alumni code for the extra $40 per person off! (yes–includes anyone on your team, even spouses or new fo;lks who haven’t attended in the past) If you need your code, email me at kgilmour@group.com!

I think it started as an idea during an Affinity Group leaders meeting at NYMC 2008 (Brandon or someone came up with this I think) Everyone wanted to keep the conversations going beyond the conference and give youth workers a place to keep going back to so the relationships and discussions that started at NYMC didn’t just vanish at the end of the 4 days. A few Affinity Groups started their own blogs and Facebook pages, but we have FINALLY pulled this all together in one online community!

Check out NYMCconnect.com and get started by joining an affinity group. All of the Affinity Group leaders from last year are getting plugged back in now to start some discussions, and we’re hoping a bunch of folks can reconnect here, and new people can also get talking before NYMC. It’s just starting out–so help this get rolling by jumping in and starting a discussion!
