Conference - Day 2

Saturday was the day of our presentation. Jill and Jeffrey had done an amazing job pulling it together under some trying technological conditions and even though we never had a chance to see it or practice it once, the team pulled it off like the professionals that they are.

They pulled a fast one on me, adding a slide I knew nothing about and almost had me crying on stage. I have the m0st fantastic team, and for all those that read this, they are all truly amazing. I thank them for that. Although having the DVD and then singing Waltzing Matilda, meant that I wasn't the only one that was feeling extremely proud and patriotic. We even caused tears in the audience!!!!

My thanks go to all those that travelled down to see us especially and as we got pulled out of the room at one stage we missed talking to many of them. But for those that I saw including, Stew and Pat, Jon, Cynthia and David, Liz, Joy and Lloyd and any one I haven't mentioned, thank you from the bottom of our hearts. It meant so much to see you guys there and to have that support in the audience.

For us this exchange is all about the people and this is just an example of that.

OK back to conference. We got to see all of the team that came to WA and especially pleasing has been the time we have been able to spend with Eric and Anne. That's been just wonderful.

Sat night was fiesta night and armed with sombrero's we caught up with lots of different people, awed at the dancing of people like Brisia and even tried a bit ourselves. A great night, although we missed the Brazillians who just came along too late even for us.....

This photo is one of us with Jim Dowler, coordinator in Palm Springs, so thanks Jim for a great time and tour.
