We decided to go to Thrive 2008.  We went and, oh my gosh, you couldn't tear us off of the ceiling afterward for probably months due to the excitement of how fabulous it was - the music, the speakers, all of the heart felt messages, the comedians, the games, the the the the...!!!  I know my family and friends got tired of us talking about it.  My husband and I, without any doubt whatsoever, are going to Thrive 2009!  I ended up recruiting 8 others to go too.  As soon as it became available to purchase tickets we bought tickets - we are all set for Thrive 2009 and can’t wait.  - Cathy Dubowski

Thanks for hosting Thrive! Great sessions and worship ... a great way to recharge! - Dave & Carol Ewart

Participating in Thrive was again a highlight of my spring. Your organization, excellence and *heart* make it a joy to partner with your team. Thanks.  - Curt Harlow, Thrive Breakout Speaker

Awesome Thrive conference! My friend at work urged me to go and so glad I did. Just what I needed. I will definitely be back next year and will bring some friends. - Michelle Flynn

Of all the conferences I attend, Thrive is my favorite. Your organization, hospitality, servant attitude permeates everything. You take such wonderful care of the Breakout speakers, etc. It is fun, helpful, inspiring, heart moving. Thank you for including me.  - Kent Tucker, Thrive Breakout Speaker

Thanks for pulling it all off….as a brand new 1st-time to Baysider, I was so charmed…killer organization, TONS of volunteers with cool shirts, AWESOME speakers, breakout sessions to drool over, and FUN HUMOR, and LOL moments….I only attend ONE women’s retreat a YEAR, but now I will add THRIVE to my spring next year and am planning on bringing others. My hat’s off to you all for pulling 2,000 folks together, ‘pimping’ their cars, and playing VOLLEYBALL with all the “BOBS!”  Sooo sweet! - Cathy Huckaby

Congratulations to you all on a wonderful job last week. The conference was amazing, the speakers so real, so encouraging and so gifted. The breakout sessions were so helpful and relevant to our ministries and the overall atmosphere was that of great fun, joy and encouragement. Bayside is FUN!!!!!!!!! And we love joining you each and every year. Please let Ray and your team know how much this meant to all of us and be assured we will be back next year. - Lisa Vandewege
