I will post this on the home page later, but I wanted to let you know that I am leaving tomorrow morning for an Advocacy Training Retreat, and will be home Saturday afternoon. Advocates from all over my State of Florida are meeting to learn more about how to get things done in our State Capital and Washington DC. The training is being conducted by the Alzheimer's Association. The retreat is less than an hour from my house in Vero Beach - We will be staying over for one night only. If I learn anything worthwhile, and I am sure I will, I will let you all know.
I am dropping Sid off at a friend's house on my way to Vero, and he will be kept busy for the day and a half that I am away.
Here I am - did you think that I wouldn't check in at least once while I was away? Sid and I were here last year when it opened, but it was a private opening weekend, so they didn't let us in. The outside is nice, but the inside - WOW! Ultra modern, sleek, and gorgeous. Jet set digs. Today's training session lasted until 7PM,(at a different location) so we didn't check in to the hotel until almost 7:30. Drinks around the pool for a couple of hours, and then we all headed back to our rooms - busy day tomorrow.
Very educational and informative - I am learning a lot about the advocacy process.
I'll be home tomorrow evening. I live the closest to Vero Beach of all the delegates. Took me 40 minutes to get here.
I'm home. I'm tired.I have much to tell you - this advocacy training was quite an interesting experience. There is lots you can do to help the Alzheimer cause without ever leaving your house. Of course, there is plenty to do if you WANT or are ABLE to leave your house.
I will tell you all about it after a good night's sleep. Right now I'm going to pick up Sid.
And by the way, did you know that the people who work in Washington and come around the country to do training are 12 years old???? Ha. Ha. Just kidding. But somehow, to me, that's how old they look. (That's a compliment to Kate and Laura, just in case they don't take it as such.)
