I Am Thankful For An Awesome Event And Being Able To Rest Afterwards – Day 15
I was the go to person for getting everything set up at the park.
Our volunteer co-ordinator made arrangements for the actual event. I am very glad I didn’t have to. Sometimes it is nice to be in the background getting it done and not having to be the person in the spotlight. She dealt with All the media.
Even Danny was left out of most of it.
We got the BALL rolling and worked on it for 3 years behind the scenes.
It was wonderful though for it to be acknowledged officially.
Our Event Was A Huge Success. YIPPEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE
