A great turnout considering. Thats dedication.
This cause is most fortunate to have such a following, and I am lucky to associate with these people.
The sweet surprise today was to see little Taylor and her pink parents (Mindy and Landon). I write about Taylor in a previous blog back in November, and how ironic that her dance was held at the same location as our orientation. Guess we have a mutual friend to thank for that - the infamous Miss Christie (who is involved in everything).
Taylor was intrigued with the pink pooch and I think Fred liked her right back. Who wouldn't - she's just so cute.
This little girl has won the hearts of so many, it was most effective for all of us to see 3 survivors in the room today (with Dusty and Kali). Thats the reason we were all there.
Most of our captains were in attendance, but they usually are cause they are awesome.
Jaime Caza (bearer of 4 hats - friend / sponsor / wish mom / volunteer coordinator) was introduced to day as our new coordinator, with my 14 year old daughter as youth coordinator and sidekick to Jaime. Its a HUGE job, and they are doing a superb job organizing it, with the personal touch that accompanies this cause.
There were representatives from all 3 charities, this impresses me to feel their support.
For the first time EVER, I was able to attend an event such as this with minimal stress and responsibility.
In years past, after creating and documenting the volunteer positions and selecting my captains, I would arrange the meeting, solicit for a venue and food, pick up the food, round up the troops, send out reminders, and create a list of to do's (that would keep me up at night).
How far we have come.
Delegation is possible when you have great people in place. Im blessed to have a Nicki and Brandi who work so hard, a great team of captains, busy daughters, and recruited members of our charities. Less twitching, more fun.
A shout out to everyone who supports this event. Thank you and God bless.
Now get to work...
