"It was an amazing time for me. My
biggest regret was not getting there Thursday and staying until
Monday." - Jim Hendrix
"I am finally home safely. It took me 22 hours this time,
as I had to drive alone, but I would do it again in a heartbeat
to be with the beautiful, sweet, kind, compassionate people that
I met at the convention. ... and tonight as I sit here and write
this, I feel like the world has been lifted from my
shoulders." - Georgia |

Do you have a host hotel in mind? Does it have a web site
we can look at? List any web sites for the area (Chamber
of Commerce, Visitor sites, etc.) Also, list any special
attractions the area has to offer.
The O.U.C.H. Convention Committee and Board of Directors will review
all submissions and decide which proposal will be granted the
next convention.
The decision will be based on the following:
-
Accommodations available - Hotels, Meeting Facilities,
Restaurants, Attractions, Things to do and see, etc.
-
Travel Facilities - Proximity to an International
Hub Airport.
-
Shuttle service to and from the hotel.
-
Vacation Opportunities - What possibilities does the area
afford for attendees who would like to make an extended vacation
of the trip?
-
Previous Convention Locations - We would like give each area
of the country the opportunity to host a convention. For that
reason we will give top consideration to those locations that
have not recently hosted a convention.
