00:00:17.660 | What a great, great session to end this.
00:00:21.800 | I mean, it, you know, our mission at the Bogle Center is to expand John Bogle's legacy
00:00:27.980 | by promoting the principles of successful investing and financial well-being
00:00:33.180 | through education and community.
00:00:35.260 | I mean, nothing embodies it more than what you just did.
00:00:37.340 | Thank you so much for that.
00:00:38.460 | It was wonderful.
00:00:39.120 | Also, to thank people, if the volunteers could stand up,
00:00:43.980 | all the people who have volunteered, please stand up.

00:01:12.780 | Thank you all very much.
00:01:13.940 | We all greatly appreciate all of your help.
00:01:16.680 | Several people have already approached us to, you know, how they can help going forward.
00:01:21.340 | And, of course, we need all types of people.
00:01:24.540 | And one thing I forgot to mention, because I had this conversation twice when I was
00:01:28.040 | in the hallway talking with people, are the visionaries, the visionaries.
00:01:32.780 | I mean, you have a vision for how you can create something within the Bogle Center.
00:01:38.560 | We were talking about maybe a Bogleheads fire movement of some sort.
00:01:42.800 | I mean, whatever it is that you say, hey, we should have this, this would help.
00:01:47.020 | You know, I could help do that.
00:01:50.640 | And so not only are we looking for, you know, workers and volunteers and people
00:01:55.240 | to help with technology, we're looking for visionaries.
00:01:57.500 | We're looking to grow this organization, not only in the United States, but around the world.
00:02:01.980 | So if you have a vision of where we might be able to go with this, and you are willing
00:02:06.640 | to take action on that vision, we certainly want to hear from you
00:02:10.720 | and certainly would like you to have that conversation.
00:02:13.760 | So, okay, so now, actually eight minutes early, the moment you have all been waiting for.
00:02:27.780 | Not yet.
00:02:29.420 | >> All right.
00:02:30.000 | >> The moment hasn't arrived yet.
00:02:33.720 | Okay, this is the general location, not the exact location.
00:02:38.000 | But think of this as where we are, are in Chicago, but we're not really in Chicago, okay.
00:02:42.700 | So when we pop this up on the screen of where the next Bogle Head Conference will be
00:02:46.920 | in 2023, it is the general location.
00:02:51.260 | And the general location is Christine.
00:02:53.620 | Washington, D.C., hey, mid-October.
00:03:03.380 | David Gravener, are you here, David, still?
00:03:06.880 | And there's going to be our local chapter coordinator
00:03:09.780 | who will be helping us pick the place and the time.
00:03:12.360 | So, see you all there next year.
00:03:17.960 | That's it.
00:03:19.040 | Thank you very much for coming.
