"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.
