Invitation to Western region Conference Oct 1-2

[Brian Smythe]

Dear Circle of Friends members,

You are invited to the Book Table & Treasury conference for the
Western regions to be held in San Francisco on October 1st & 2nd near
the SFO airport.

I attended this conference last year in LA and was very happy I did.
Mr and Mrs Fortmann (head of the treasury worldwide), Mrs List
(responsible for the Book Table worldwide) and Mrs Hanf (responsible
for the publishing warehouse) are coming from Germany to lead this
conference. They have many years of experience with the teachings of
Bruno Groening and spent much time at Mrs Hausler's side, travelling
and supporting the work. To hear them share their stories and personal
experiences is truly a gift! Not to mention the powerful Heiltsrom we
take in together in Einstellen. I hope many will come!

Important note: we will take registrations after the Sept 16th
deadline however it is important that everyone who wants to stay at
the hotel overnight reserve their room no later than Sept 16th to take
advantage of the group rate.

If you have any questions about this conference or the logistics,
please let me know.

Love and blessings,
Helene
Regional Leader
