"Expanding Horizons," the Mid West Regional LLI conference held on April 28 & 29 was a rousing success. Hosted by the Center for Learning in Retirement at Rock Valley College in Rockford, Illinois, all 175+ attendees went home filled with enthusiasm and lots of new ideas. From start to finish the Planning Committee did a wonderful job and everything ran very smoothly.

All workshops as well as accommodations, were on site at the Clock Tower Resort, a real convenience for the attendees. Not only were the workshops stimulating and informative, but the opportunity to network was everywhere. From the cocktail hour, to the meals, to the hospitality suite hosted by CLIR, members could be heard comparing programs, asking questions and getting their fill of new information. Congratulations to everyone who had a hand in making the conference so successful. Following are some of the workshop papers.
