World Massage Conference Contest - Top 10 finish for CM!

On Monday and Tuesday of this week was the World Massage Conference. It was an online event. A "Massage school makeover" was part of this event. For the past 9 months students, alumni, faculty and staff have been able to vote for their favorite massage school. There were over 1,000 entries and Crystal Mountain was chosen to be in the top 10! We didn't win, but we came close. The decision wasn't based on the number of votes but rather on the quality of what people had to say about their favorite school and the owner's (Linda's) essay was a deciding factor. Although we didn't win the $70,000 prize, we did get free admission to the conference and will receive a small bonus for making it into the top 10!
