Joy Conference 2020

The word "Joy" appears over the date, February 1, 2020. "Celebrating 45 years of joy!" also appears in the picture.

In the holiday season we hear a lot about “joy.” Joy does not end at the end of the year – it continues on! In fact, in Outagamie County, we are very pleased and proud to share the information regarding the 45th Annual Joy Conference sponsored by the Joy Committee and University Extension Madison in Outagamie County.

We have three wonderful speakers that will share their insights and life experiences. You will gain perspectives to contemplate and consider for your own life. The atmosphere at the Joy Conference is amazing and hard to describe in words. You will not want to miss this event on February 1, 2020. Create a clearer vision for your life and the life path you want to embark on from this day forward.

Please share with your family, friends and neighbors!
