1999 Section W4A Conclave

The theme was “Remember” and the Saturday night show based on the theme was very well done. There was heavy rain on Friday night and scattered showers most of Saturday. Attendance was 426, including 229 youth.

There was a 3-inch and a a 4-inch patch of the same design. The training was very good and received positive comments. There was an observation that there should have been more youth involved, and in particular, from the Section. There were over 25 very nice sand paintings.
