YEAR 4 - 1995

We held the conference in Vail.  The most memorable part of this conference was the Friday evening meal, which was served in  the hotel bar.  The approximately 120 women who attended that year were required to file past the liquor-lined wall  and bar stools filled with the local Happy-Hour crowd, to reach the serving line.  Dessert was served on the end of the bar!  Evidently the hotel management was informed of the inappropriateness of this set-up, because the future buffet lines were in the hallway.
