Learning something new and having fun juggling scarfs with the "Laughter Works" session. 

Don't be afraid to try something new.




WCRA President Mary Burzynski addresses attendees at the Saturday luncheon.  Mary gave an update of current issues affecting WCRA members and the reporting profession in general.






Convention Coordinators Judy Zickert and Michelle Stello with speakers at our spring convention.  This was Judy and Michelle's first convention.  They did a fantastic job!  Thanks, ladies.






Worth Business Equipment attended the convention.  They were available throughout Friday and Saturday for attendees to drop off their machines in need of cleaning and/or repair.  The machines were cleaned, repaired, and returned, eliminating the need for shipping costs, the cost of a loaner, and periods of time without your machine.  Many reporters took advantage of this great service.  They will again be present at our fall convention in Waukesha.
