The first European DHS Convention was a feast to be a part of. Each and every convention until now has had some special gems that are of great value to building my business. Next to building a business each and every convention has very special gems in the people who attend and host it. DHS is far more then just a business. It is about building relationships and going and growing together on the path of financial freedom and personal development. It has been a good opportunity to meet some of the people in my organization and to be able to extend both friendship and business strategy to an extend that can not be shared through email and telephone only. Meeting eye to eye can clarify things to a far greater extend then through any other medium.

Conventions are the place to come to understand that really we are building a worldwide business that has no limits. It was great to meet VIPs from all over the world and to know that these are the leaders that help your and mine DHS business grow into the worldwide opportunity we want it to be.

A big thank you to Dick, Pat, Harold, Gino, Will and Lisa and to each and every participant for making this convention into an invaluable meeting that I had the fortune to attend. It is good to know that fortune is something we create ourselves. There are so many things we can do even without investing more money then the $25 a month. Dick Burke built the DHS club Debt free and the training, Paltalk meetings, Conferences, Conventions and guidance of our upline enable us to do the same.

Hope to see you on the next occasion!

It really was a great experience!!! Meeting all those great people. Learning so much. There is no other word for me: FANTASTIC!!!

Sandra Bos - Netherlands

I really had a good time ad the convention. And I was very sorry that I had leave on Friday. Next time I will stay until the end. Thanks for meeting you all.

Petra van der Schilden - Netherlands


As soon as I became a VIP and found out, a convention was to be held in Brussels, I knew I had to go. So I went there with my husband. I just had became a Builder Intern a couple of days before I went. The convention was everything I had hoped for and more. I sure can say to the people who did not come, they missed a great opportunity. It was exciting, funny, familiar and I learned a lot I can put into practice right away.
Thanks to everyone involved in the organization of this great event. And thanks for all the testimonials, which were of great help. Thanks to Harold Hill for his beautiful song, which really gave me some tears, to wipe away. Thank you so much Mr Burke for the story of a lifetime and your commitment to everyone of us. Next year I will show up again. God bless you all.

One word ... the convention was very, very great, and most of all the personal story of Mr. Dick Burke himself was emotional, I was groundnailed. It has opened my eyes again, and given my faith a great shot. It was also a pleasure to meet Pat, Will, HH and Lisa. Great guys from around the world. It's a pleasure to see the believing and faith that everybody had. It was like lightening. Up to the greater work and my commitment to Mr Dick Burke.

Mark Tsestigh - Belgium

It was good to know and hear and be reminded that 85%+ of what we need to make our DHS Business successful is detailed in the Training Courses, and that most of the rest is given in the Paltalk sessions. However, by meeting with other VIPs, then the missing 5% can be discovered. It was also good to put faces to names/email addresses, and re-meet friends made at last year's Kortrijk conference. The support of Europe by Dick Burke is appreciated, as not all American companies are aware of life outside the USA!

Sally Wigmore - Great Britain


It was a great experience. I've learned a lot and also had contact with people from other countries. I recommend this to everyone who wants to make a success of their business . I will definitely go to as many conventions as possible.It was fantastic and thanks to everyone at the DHS head office for the terrific organisation.You are all doing fantastic work!!

Diana Maussen - Belgium


If I only had one thing to take away from this event I would be hard pressed to decide which was the most significant. Meeting up with old friends and the making of new ones. Or could it be the way Dick guides and instructs? How does he manage to bring the training courses alive and interesting even after we have been through them several times? Then we had the marketing sessions. Thank you Will for your presentation.

Dick tells the story of DHS Club from its foundation, through the hardships, up to the present day and beyond. We explored building deep and wide, and why MLM has had its day and the concept of MOM. You can't just take one thing away with you, you have to take the whole package. Too much to take in, my brain is still buzzing, for the time being I'll remember Lisa's smile as the conference drew towards a successful conclusion.

Thank you all for being there, thank you all for your contributions.
Next time we'll have to book a stadium.

Frank Finch - United Kingdom


It was a fantastic feeling to be part of the first European Convention.

Thank you, Mr. Burke to motivate us all and to let us see the future of DHSC. Thank you, Gino to make this convention possible.

Thank you all to be there. I've met very friendly colleagues from all over the world. Now, I'm already looking forward to the next European Convention.

Sarita Van Hoof - Belgium

Thank you very much from the deepest of my heart to listen to you in Brussels.

It is a Golden two days for me.

From the first second until the last second you gave me that what I NEVER can't find in the Bookstore.

Your Testimonial was also wonderful to hear that.

I hope that we can meet each other as soon as possible, because this is a DIAMOND for me.

Thank you very much and GOD BLESS YOU.

Frans Hoogervorst - Netherlands


I have been there and I have seen and heard it all
Thanks. Next time I would like to bring in some ideas to organize a convention in the Benelux/Europe.

Marguerite Gootjes - Netherlands

We learned a lot about this business, a lot of considerable thoughts are taken away.

The next convention I will be present too! Its fun and you learn a lot.

Pieter Hilhorst - Netherlands


One of those unique magic experiences where you realize that something special just happened. A sort of spark in your heart, which gives you right away the deep awareness of being in the right place at the right time, with the right People.

People! That's the best part of all! Of course the Great Training and inspiration we received by Mr. President Dick Burke and his son Will, has with no doubt a huge value for our Business, for now and for the years to come. But getting to know each other in this environment, relaxing at night until 3 A.M. in the Hotel's Lounge Bar as well as walking around in Bruxelles, drinking a beer, sharing the same passions and feelings, making strategies or simply having fun together...well all this has definitely an inestimable Value. In one word it's Friendship!

All our Italian Team attending this outstanding event is absolutely delighted and fired up! We all can't wait to attend the First Italian Conference scheduled for September!!

Fabrizio Perotti - Italy


What an exciting opportunity, to attend DHS history as it was being made -- our first-ever European Convention!!

It was such a satisfying treat to see the excitement in the eyes of the other VIPs, just like it happened to me at MY first Convention two years ago. To feel the excitement that is only possible at a Convention. It may not be essential to attend a Convention to succeed in a DHS business, but it certainly improves your chances. The main advantage, looking back on it now after two years in DHS, is that attending a Convention gives you access to the people who have built the company, to talk with them, listen to their presentations, to see into the future a bit at what is coming, to talk with VIPs who are succeeding, and catch the excitement and enthusiasm that they have about the business. The whole experience made me an enthusiastic believer in the promise of a DHS business, and the information and enthusiasm that I came away from Convention with, every time I go to one, just lights the fire within me again, or stokes the fire that is already there.

I have returned to my business energized, enthusiastic, and am already advancing -- I have added between 100 and 200 Pay Points to my Network Total in the under 48 hours that I have been back home. I have a meeting scheduled with several members of my team in the coming few days, and hope to transfer some of the enthusiasm and information that I got at this latest Convention.

To anyone who is wondering if it is worth going to a Convention, let me tell you -- IF YOU ARE ASKING THAT QUESTION, YOU MUST NOT HAVE BEEN TO A CONVENTION YET. IF YOU HAVE EVER BEEN TO ONE, YOU KNOW THAT GOING TO A CONVENTION IS ONE OF THE BEST MOVES THAT YOU CAN EVER MAKE TO HELP YOUR DHS BUSINESS GROW!!!

Many thanks to everyone who contributed to the organization and planning for this latest Convention. I plan to go to every Convention for as long as I am active with DHS, and probably beyond. Just the fun of meeting with other VIPs from around the world is too much fun to resist, not to mention the value of the information presented and the networking that can be done after the formal sessions conclude each day. This has to be one of the best ways, and the most fun way, to invest in your business. Ask anyone who went, and start planning for the next one. OK, Dick, when are you going to announce the dates and location for the next Convention?? I want to book my lodging NOW!! Sign me up for a ticket as soon as they become available.

Gary Glackin - USA


Those two days at the Brussels Convention were a great gift. I not only gained more insight in the business, I have met some very lovely and interesting people and I even made some new friends who already feel like family! But what I never ever had expected, was to walk out of that Renaissance Hotel with my soul lifted sky high!!! I have learned so many things about myself since, that the changes in me are almost inexplicable. But one thing is certain: the convention gave me the courage to start “digging a second well".

Thank you for being such a great teacher, Mr. Burke!

Mia Mortelmans- Belgium


Well! Mussels in Belgium and Chocolate superb.
A really enjoyable and informative Convention,meeting and sharing information with many friends and making new ones, all of a similar mind is probably what will stay with me.

The training and stories from those that had followed the yellow brick road and reached goals that we all dream of, was very inspiring and in some cases moving emotionally. It is an event that every one should make the effort to attend as an investment for the future.

My thanks go to Audrey, Frank Finch's wife (my upline) for giving Jean, my wife some of her time whilst Frank and I attended the Convention,and to all the speakers for keeping us,well in awe of the opportunity which we all have. Obviously the star as always, Dick Burke left no one in doubt as to what we should be doing "Follow The Yellow Brick Road" Thank You!

Walter Woods - Great Britain


A word of thanks, admiration and new future dreams.

3 years ago Harold and I talked about the first European Convention and how it should be and which location we would use. We have been working hard since and......4 may 2006 the first European Convention was no longer a dream but became reality.
Another proof that dreams, combined with hard work, a proven company, and teamwork, make things happen.

A word of thanks for all the attending VIPs and for their devoted attention. Thanks!
A word of thanks towards the DHS Club staff and Lisa for an impeccable organization of this event, well done!
A word of thanks for Will Burke and for his clear explanation about Search Engine Marketing. Thank you!
A word of thanks to al the attending Executive Directors for their cooperation and professional attitude. Great Job!

A special word of thanks for my upline and Executive Director Harold Hill for supporting me and the guidance during the event. I can not wish for a better upline and........great friend!

Last but not least, so much admiration for the man with the plan, Mr. Dick Burke and his lovely wife Pat.
As always full of energy teaching , instructing, leading the way and providing us with all the necessary mental food towards the future. What you have started 10 years ago, is not only growing with people and businesses, but with caring people that are doing business in a unique way, you have provided us with a chance to make something of our lives.
Thank you for everything you do and so much more.

With much gratitude,

Gino Descamps - Chief Executive Director - Belgium


Having attended every DHS Club convention to date, I understand the significance and importance of VIPs getting together in person to celebrate success and to learn in a very personal way how to create even more success. Dick Burke has always known that building a business with our system in a "high-tech" world also demands an element of "high-touch" - people assembling for "eye-to-eye" contact, getting "belly-to-belly", to actually be in the presence of those who are succeeding. It is simply the best way to prove that there are real people creating real prosperity with the DHS Club as a financial vehicle. Those who attend come away with all doubt and skepticism removed.

Our VIPs in Europe get that. The first annual European Convention was a quantum leap forward in the global expansion of the DHS Club. The sense of community we are creating has a firm hold in the European Union countries represented by our VIPs who cared enough to send the very best - themselves - to this historic event. It was an honor for me to represent the United States as an Executive Director among the citizens of Belgium, the Netherlands, England, Italy, Greece, Sweden, Switzerland, Ireland and more. The smiles, the laughter, the fun we had as a group stays with me even now, and I personally could not have expected the event to be better than it was. It was simply the kind of event we have come to expect with the DHS Club, this time with a distinct European flavor, and for all of us, there was no language barrier. Worldwide, DHS Club members are getting "in the same page" because of our Managed Organizational Marketing plan.

I am grateful to Dick and Pat Burke, Executive Director Gino Descamps (Belgium) and his family, DHS Club staff members Lisa Young (who carries with her a sense of fun with her exceptional knowledge of our business) and Will Burke, the European Executive Directors in attendance, all our team members who attended and each person who made me feel so welcome so far from my home. It is always joyful for me to share some music and our good news message with those who have the ability to develop a vision for our business, and who, thereby, become capable of understanding just how big our opportunity really is.

I will always remember this event warmly as the number of occasions to celebrate our success together continues to grow. Our team's "Breakfast Of Champions" at this convention served to emphasize that MANY of us as VIPs are connected as winners and achievers. The Friday evening trip to the Grand Market - 50+ VIPs in 12 cabs - was a memorable adventure in itself! The future holds unlimited potential for those who will accept the good fortune that comes with leadership, and it is easy to see that there are those in our midst who have taken their belief systems to the level required for creating wealth in both the financial and personal arenas of their lives. Each and all know that Gino Descamps has been very influential in making this event come to be a reality (and now history), and I am personally blessed on a number of levels to have the caliber of leadership he brings with him in my own organization.

The European Union is on the move! We developed our muscles in Brussels!

Best regards,

Harold Hill - Chief Executive Director - USA
