We're debating on whether to go to the Youth Specialties Conference

Carol has done her share of conferences, and broke down what the costs will likely be:

I honestly think we can spend that money in better ways.  Does anyone have opinions here?  DJ already told me his (thanks DJ).  I've never been to a Christian conference so I'm a bit naive.  Pastor David was the one who told me about this National Youth Workers conference a long time ago, and recommended it.  

I guess we should try to estimate an ROI and evaluate it against some of the other things we'd like to do...
