Looks pretty good. Our people are sure aging! I like the ratio of
smokers/nonsmokers they are getting the hint!

Congrats team, I'd call that a winner.

This is one thing that has changed greatly over the past few decades, not only in the TG community, but in the general US population as well. Back in the 1970s, I would say that between 80 and 90% of the TG community smoked. I can remember being the only nonsmoker at a few TG gatherings.

As the numbers support, this was one of the most-enjoyed of our events in recent history. I also noted that it was the smoothest-running event we've had for several years. Big thanks to all, both volunteers and attendees for making it so.

I'm drafting a detailed response to the survey, but I probably will not be ready to post it for a few days.

Thanks again, everyone!

It's a bit lower than what we had last year, but still typical of what we usually see. For surveys of this type, a 50% response rate is considered very good.
