    Host: Candy O’Donnell Guest: Ray Loewe Description: In this podcast, Ray Loewe describes the Conference Event that he is planning for June 12th, 2025, at the Willow Valley Conference Center. The purpose of this conference, The Magic Continues, is to learn about tools and techniques to live life to the fullest. This conference, similar to Mr. Loewe’s Conference Event held last year in 2024, is part of a series of conferences started 30 years ago by Mr. Loewe. This year, the Conference will have two speakers, followed by lunch at the Willow Valley Conference Center Ballroom. The first speaker, Tracey Gates, who wrote a book entitled “ The Power of a Few Kind Words,” will describe her project of writing one letter of gratitude a day for a year, and what she gained from this. The second speaker, Deborah Brandt, the Producer of Fig Magazine Lancaster, explores what we can do and who we can meet in Lancaster to help us live life to the fullest. Afterwards, there will be a lunch, which will allow people to network, to meet speakers, and to bounce ideas off others at the conference. Ray’s Goal is to continue this conference event a few times a year, to be held at Willow Valley.
