This is all true, but General Conference is the only official national religious holiday of the UPCI.

I see meetings like NAYC taking on more of a defining role in the UPC rather than only the traditional social emphasis.

LOL! There may be a lot of truth there! But I know couples who met at GC.

And the music at GC does tend to be selected for the "older" crowd. My wife has been asked to sing at GC several times- but never at NAYC! hmm...

You are so smart you should be an attorney. Did the mormon polygamy verdict surprize you?

Imagine if they went back to Louisville and had a central location....

Oh nevermind.

GC is always lower the year they have NAYC. The marathon offerings and $25 door charge could have skeered a few away from registrations too.

I really do wish we would have spent more of our precious dollars and spare time doing things with the kids rather than going to these functions. Fortunately, we have been doing just that for about the past 5-7 years.
