Thanks Lauren!
I have so much fun in the chat its not work! hehehehehehehe
While we are at it. I would like to thank all the wonderful people who have 
made the balloon chat a big success!  Just about everyone I've invited to be 
our guess speaker have replied positively.  
Our line up so far is: tonight. Tuesday, July 17, we will be chatting with 
Mary Ann Vaughn, CBA of Creative Kreations Balloon Decor & More from Mission 
Viejo, Calif.  Come on and have some fun and learn about the business of 
balloons!

I'm also very happy to announce that Monday, August 6th at 9pm EST Don & 
Dolly Dixon CBA's and the owners of "Business of Balloons" from Sydney, 
Australia will be our special guest speakers. So mark your calendars and come 
in and meet and chat with these special people!

I'm also pleased to announce that Graham Rouse of Advance Creative Products & 
Rouse Products International and the creator of the Rouse Matrix Systems 
will join us in October. He tells me he has some ideas which might be fun, 
educational, and take the session another step or two toward an on line 
seminar.

In late July or early August Mr. Ralph Dewey will be joining us from Dewey's 
Good News Balloons He's the author of over 20 books and many videos on Gospel 
Ministry (I have most of his books)

And in September, Bruce Walden from Walden Productions home of the Uplifter 
“Helium-Powered Greetings” has agreed to chat with us. He has just finished 
his "What's New Bruce" tour. 

All we have to do now is get some dates confirmed. I will be posting as soon 
as I find out the exact dates.

Psssss  I'm in the process to have Bruce "Charlie" Johnson to be our guest 
speaker too.
He is an internationally recognized family entertainer, clown historian, 
instructor, author and artist.  He has created his own unique performance 
style combining magic, juggling, plate spinning, trick cartoons, pantomime, 
audience interaction, and clowning. He is the owner of Charlie's Creative 
Comedy. His wife is Carole "Pookie" Johnson is a Caring Clown specializing in 
appearances at hospitals and nursing homes.

Thanks you guys! YOU ROCK!!
Sandy Capps <~~~ who's blown away from all these wonderful people who makes 
our chats the best on the net!
