The United Ostomy Association of America (UOAA) is celebrating its tenth anniversary with a 4-day conference in the Gateway City of Saint Louis, MO this Labor Day Weekend. There is a long list of educational sessions at the UOAA website, Ostomy.org. One session is even titled "LSI" ... Leak Scene Investigation", as many of us have leaks, even if infrequent. Several evening events include an Ice Cream Social, that usually includes a DJ with dancing, and the last night has a dessert event with dancing advertised. More info at Ostomy.Org

Additionally, for all the dancers at the UOAA conference:
St. Louis is the home of the largest non-profit swing dance club in America, as stated by the American Bob Association. By pure coincidence, we have a weekly dance with about 300 dancers every Tuesday night, with 4 levels of lessons from 7 to 8, and open dance till 10:30. Admission is only $5.00 for non-members with lessons an additional $5.00. Additionally, Thursday night Sept. 03 is the kick-off dance for the 20th annual "Rolling on the River" 4-day & night dance event. Admission fee is $10.00 except for those who buy the whole event. Both dances are at the Moolah Shrine Center, where the Shriners' slogan is "we dance so kids can walk". Much more info is at WCSDC.Com, or contact me here.

Hope to see you at the conference, and maybe the dances as well. Take care... Bruce

Hi Bruce,  Thank you for the great post and update.  My husband and I are planning to attend and look forward to seeing everyone.  The Jacksonville conference was fun in 2013.  We had a blast dancing the night away.  The sessions were helpful too.  Take care - See you at the Conference in September.  LH
