Annual Meeting
The 2008 meeting will be held at the Glen Eryie Castle and Conference Center from Sunday June 15 - Wednesday June 18, 2008 in Colorado Springs, CO. The 2004 conference was at this location and there have been many requests to return. Click here for the detailed program and here for the registration form. As always, there will be a stimulating professional continuing education program that balances new therapeutic information with sessions on how to integrate our faith into our daily pharmacy activities. There will be information about mission opportunities and there will be special activities for pharmacy students. There will be a spouses program and families are encouraged to attend. There will be special activities for the children.
The Glen Eryie Castle and Conference Center is nestled in the foothills of the Rocky Mountains, just minutes from downtown Colorado Springs, CO, at the base of Pikes Peak. It is a haven for those seeking time away from the demands and hectic schedule of everyday life to reconnect with themselves, their loved ones, and God. The Christian Conference Center is a place of serenity and rest—over 800 acres of stately pines and whispering aspen, lush lawns, sparkling waterfalls and majestic sandstone rock faces. The property is adjacent to the majestic Garden of the Gods Park. The air is alive with the sound of birdsong and breeze through the trees—often the only sounds of a Glen Eyrie afternoon. You can sit under a shady tree and watch the bighorn sheep graze, spend an hour (or two) reading on the Castle terrace or hike through the canyon to Dorothy Falls and splash around in sun-drenched pools. (For more information see www.gleneyrie.org). During our free time Monday afternoon there will be a group going to tour Focus on the Family. You can sign up for the tour on the registration form. Also, there will be a group going to the Flying W Ranch on Monday evening. You need to sign up for that on the meeting registration form.
The CPFI 2007 Annual Meeting, Renewing Your Professional Soul, at Springmaid Beach, SC was a great success with 93 pharmacists in attendance and over 150 counting spouses and children. There were 26 student pharmacists in attendance from 8 different pharmacy schools. Thanks to the generosity of pharmacist members each student who signed up for assistance was given $122 towards their expenses.
