Live and Learn Conference
coordinated by Kelly Lovejoy in Black Mountain, North Carolina—just outside of Asheville. It's a YMCA camp. with hotel accommodations, cabins, and a family lodge. No tent or RV camping, but there is a KOA three miles away. It's a beautiful area, and the camp has so much to offer. We've signed a two year contract with the option of five more, so we're planning to settle here if we like it. Always the weekend after Labor Day.
