Hello CAFA,

I just had to drop you a quick note to say, 'Thank you'.

I participated in my first CAFA conference this weekend in Niagara Falls and WOW, what an amazing and inspirational time. I attended with one of my designers and we were both blown away by the friendly reception we received from each CAFA member we met right up to the outstanding level of talent demonstrated at each event. Our heads are swimming with new design ideas - refreshed and inspired. I came away from the conference with information that is valuable to me both as a shop owner and a designer.

All the sleepless nights and effort put into the conference truly showed.

Thank you all for being such gracious, welcoming hosts. I look forward to the next CAFA event. Congratulations on organizing such a wonderful event.

Hello CAFA,

To CAFA President and Convention committee

With great admirations for all your work, sleepless nights, long working days and your sincere dedication put into the CAFA Convention 2007,in Niagara Falls, Ont. we are sending you our gratitude and congratulations on an excellent event that we were very fortunate to be part of.

We spend two days at the Convention, being inspired, challenged and enticed with new learning. The wonderful pictures tell us the "story" we will remember for long time. An event like this, comes with sacrifices that all CAFA members of the active committee put into this... and for that, we thank you!

As a new and future members of the floral industry, we would not be able to learn, grow and better ourselves, as students, as designers and in the end for the industry we will be part of, without an event like the one you staged.

Thank you for the great opportunity you gave us to learn and explore a wonderful world of Floral Design. Looking forward to the many events that CAFA will provide for all of us in the future.
