THANK YOU: to everyone who helped with the ACELC Conference, including food and monetary donations, setup and teardown, food preparation and serving, organists, and assistance with technology.  All the help was much appreciated! There were 118 people in attendance at the conference and it was exciting to be able to host at Holy Cross this year.
