We had an absolutely wonderful day at Trinity Baptist Church in Livermore.  The skies were blue and weather was 65 degrees and it provided the perfect backdrop for our 11th annual event.
   There were 309 registered and we had about that many on campus during the day in 15 tracks and 45 different classes.  I've not seen so many guitars in one room - accept at Guitar Center.
  I am so appreciative of our entire team and that way everyone pulled together to make this a wonderful event.

Thanks to Michael Adler for his outstanding leadership in the opening session. Thank you Mike for your heart and talent to serve the King.  Visit www.AdlerWorshipMinistries.com for more information.

Thanks to the accompaniment team "band of renown" who came together to support Michael in the worship time.

Thanks to Merril Smoak and the Trinity Church for their volunteers, lunch crew, and sound support during the day.

Thanks to our excellent teaching staff.  Your talent and skill is evedient as well as your desire to help others learn.
