>I attended my first gathering last summer. It was interesting in that the
group seemed taken back that we were "still working". The main reason I have
not participated is because the rallys don't seem to encourage family
participation. We "still have kids" at home and it would be really boring for
them.
I am, however, interested in the VAC gatherings..... Seems like a more mixed
crowd of younger and used to be younger. And I think that will be the key, to
put together events that attract all ages. I've been doing the Airstream thing
for a while now and I really enjoy helping those just starting out and I really
learning from those like Pearl who have been around a long time.
