Surratt Conference

[Laurie Verge]

My staff member who is my "bouncer" for the conference just told me that we don't have Food Fights, we have Food Flings! But she also said that no one will throw food on her watch.

For those of you who have been to our previous conferences, she's the one who holds up a yellow caution sign to alert the speakers to a five-minute warning and then a red stop sign when the hour is up. She starts marching towards the speaker if they don't shut up in five seconds! She really is a great sport, however.

And, if throwing Moon Pies, please throw them in my direction (with the wrapper still on).

Word of warning: I throw food objects native to Maryland. I heave raw oysters and Maryland Stuffed Ham. When that ham comes at you, you better duck!
