I just wanted to let you know how great the conference was this past weekend.  My mother brought 9 girls to the conference. My daughter Mallory and her friends have not stopped talking about the conference. Mallory told me that on Monday at school they told some of their friends about the weekend and the rest of the girls are all so excited to attend next year.  The girls loved it all from beginning to end and they couldn't wait to tell their friends to "Fix your face".  Thanks again to everyone involved.  I believe what they experienced was priceless and hope the messages from all the speakers stays with each and every one of them.  Thank you for allowing them to attend and we will definitely be at the next one.

Just wanted all of you to know how much we enjoyed the Conference. Our first experience was awesome - it was my daughter's first fashion show and everyone connected made it a memorable event. We plan to come next year and bring some of her friends as I am sure they will all benefit in some way.  It was definitely a success!
