A Garmin 200 was given away as our final door prize for the SharePoint Server 2007 Training. The lucky winner of our final prize was Dennis Swinehart from Mission to the World.
Congrats Dennis!

So we have had 3 days of our SharePoint Training…. Bill is a great instructor and has adapted the course to our group very well. His humor is a bit dry, but very entertaining… not to mention the songs he has written about SharePoint.
Here are some photos thru today..
Where did the Northwoods Staff Go? All 4 are missing….
Fady, working hard or Hardly working???
A few were hanging around after the service tonight so they came over for a little Stand up comedy by Jerry Seinfeld… There was a marginal drop in bandwidth at my house when all the laptops came out of the bags…
Well its time for sleep for an early morning tomorrow… Training starts back up at 8:30 am…
This morning Fady won a gift card to Best Buy (aka the mothership) in our morning door prize… it helps to be ‘In Your Seat’ at start time… (sorry ed… i really do feel badly).
So I was complaining about the cold… well at-least the frost on the inside of the car, so i guess I need to note it was almost 70 deg here today… never thought i would wash my cars and take down Christmas lights in shorts and a Shirt.
SharePoint Server Training less than 12 hours away….. Well we met at the church tonight at 5:30 and got everything setup. Bill brought two Huge screens so it will be great even for the likes of Ed Buford who i found out tonight is about as blind as a bat.
I was either too busy setting up, doing introductions, or something….(Insert Jim or Jeremie sarcastic remark here I suppose) I didn’t get a single photo taken… But I am quite sure JP, Jeremie and Justin documented the night well…
For those in the ChurchIT biggest loser contest, Jason and Ed did eat celery at BW3’s so they are still on track.
Now the task for tonight is Buckeye making… for the BIG game tomorrow night. OH-IO
Melting the Chocolate
Dipping the Peanut-butter
The finished product
GO BUCKS!

Some more SharePoint Training Informatin:
Several have emailed needs for transportation or have transportation to share.. so where else is a better place to put this stuff than on my blog… duh.

Need Transportation:
If you have travel needs or rides to share, comment below and I’ll update this post.
Just 5 days until SharePoint 2007 Server Training… Here are directions to the Hotel and directions to the church from the Hotel.
Additionally, if you are traveling by air, you might want to pack an extra bag. Bill has indicated that AWESOME FREE courseware you will be given at the training is two very large and heavy notebooks. In an email to me Bill Comments “It will be two rather thick binders – heavy too. People should bring extra luggage to take home the binders. I’m not kidding.” So I am passing this information along to you.
You might also want to check the weather this weekend, right now its single digit temperatures, but we should be around 50 by the weekend… but i won’t guarantee those temps will last during the second week of January in Peoria!
Registration will close on December 21st for the SharePoint Training. We must close the registration so we can finalize the numbers for the courseware Mindsharp is providing for each of the attendees.
If you haven’t registered yet, and you are planning to attend, WHAT ARE YOU WAITING FOR? If you are wavering as to are you going to attend why not, ITS FREE!
