Suggestions (not edited)

Conference was simply great!

We need more conferences like these.

We should have lively people like Ipe Joseph achen and I like the way he conducted the conference with the icipation of children.

We need an younger achen like Joe Joseph Kuruvilla
More days for conference
We need one more conference next year.
Cancel the singing session, In senior conference don't bring intermediates, is a waste of time.
Choose a cool place like Indian Embassy auditorium
Encourage more interaction between boys and girls.
Try to bring the Indian Ambassador for the meeting.
Why not Chinese food?
More snacks, games and AC
Answer all question.
More time for games.
Make the conference in open space
Please do not put us in groups
Better food: KFC, McDonalds, Burger King & ice-cream
Better mike system.
We need ice-creams after lunch.
Conduct every month
Conduct every two month
Change the venue.
Never change the venue, more meeting at the same place
Don't divide us into groups like Mathew Luke...we want to sit with our friends so divide according to the way we sit initially?
Bring Rev. Ipe Joseph next time....he was the best.
Horrible food...we need KFC or Hardees
Make it a 7-day (week) program
Should be in 4 consecutive days during vacation
Vegetarian food also should be there
I have no suggestions or criticism...I like it the way it is now! It is splendid
Dear Ipe Joseph achen, please come for another senior conference....If you want, please bring Joe Joseph achen also with you?!
