Spring Seminar a Success! The J. Mark Lowe Spring Seminar was both informative and entertaining and successful as a fundraiser for the GFO as well. Mark presented a number of strategies and lesser known resources backed by humorous stories and anecdotes. 114 people attended, and the GFO earned $2,521.23 from the event.
Some of those surveyed expressed a desire for a more complete syllabus. Often a speaker will not include in the syllabus everything mentioned in the talk because there are people who disregard copyright and use the syllabus as the basis for their own talks. The speakers try to give the main outline and links to websites along with enough information to remind people of what was said in the lectures.
