By all accounts this was an excellent AMTA meeting. Betty scheduled the event a week earlier than last year in an effort to avoid the heat and the weather cooperated. The first two days were absolutely beautiful - while the cloud cover disappeared by Wendesday the temperatures were still quite tolerable.
Jan and Melinda Voda again opened up their home for a wonderful cocktaily party on Tuesday evening. Many people stayed until the end, finishing up the delicious hors d'ouerves as dinner and then collapsed into bed after a long day of tennis.
The CME meetings were some of the best attended meetings in the recent past. With full attendance daily there were engaging speakers that instigated conversations beyond the meetings rooms. The synergy was palpable.
