Our 2007 Area Conference is considered by many to be the best conference in years! In addition to some wonderful speakers we celebrated LLL of NC's 40th birthday with a party. We were delighted to celebrate this momentous occasion with some of North Carolina's very first founding mothers and Leaders.

The silent auction was spectacular as well as the boutique, bookstore, and local vendors. We look forward to the next Area Conference!
