No, ma'am, I am not. I am a member of the 60- something. But Kendrick Meek has led our organization, and we had a very, very good conference last week. I am not going to go into all the details, I am sure my colleague, Donna Christensen, who was also my cochair last week may give you details about it, but it was a wonderful week. We had brain trust on just about every topic that you can imagine. We had a gospel extravaganza, and one of my choirs from North Carolina came to Washington and really, really had a magnificent showing in that extravaganza. Then we had a prayer breakfast.

I don't know how many thousand people were at that dinner.
