Lunch & Saying Goodbye

April 9th, 2010
Shelley

The Solutions Summit has been awesome.  Lot’s of learning and networking.  Plenty of laughing and goodwill.  Many folks took the time to tell us that loved what they heard from the eSchool Solutions team.  Everyone’s looking forward to SmartFindExpress 1.5 next week and 2.0 later in the fall.  Plus, they’re excited about participating in focus groups.  During a late lunch, the crowd was treated to a slide show set to some terrific New Orleans music that featured photos taken over the last three days.  We ended the conference with prizes and a message from Tom Smith. Tom told the crowd, “We love you and we appreciate your business!”

Another great lunch!

Client presenters were given a small (very small) token of our appreciation – Aunt Sally’s Pralines.  Yummy!  Tricia Griffith (Hayes Consolidated, TX), Cathy McCabe (Dufferin-Peel, ON), Scott Cummins (Northwest Regional, OR), Elaine Alexandres (San Bernardino City, CA).

Some happy clients walked away with Flip Video cameras.  Patty Blanchard (Portland Schools, OR) was super excited when Tom Smith drew her ticket!

Today we’re off to another great start.  The group started with breakfast that included a “make your own omelet” station and some great looking fruit.  Rumor has it that some folks had a late evening, but you’d never know it this morning.  The group is ready for another full day of breakout sessions.
