Annual Gathering Day One

Well here it is day one of Annual Gathering 2010! Day one begins for me a day before most folks who attend the gathering. I serve on the planning committee so that means I arrive a day earlier to help set up. While the planning committee meets almost year round things do heat up during the week of the gathering.

Last year the person who had traditionally composed the Powerpoint slide shows for the plenary session was not able to be there so I volunteered to do the show last year. Note to self - don't do things so well that they want you to continue to do them! (It is kind of like serving on a church committee - I will probably do it "until the good Lord calls me home!")So here I am again doing the Powerpoint show for the plenary session. I really don't mind it helps nurture my creative side and it is nice to be involved with the plenary in such an intimate way.

We met tonight for a really nice dinner in the side dinning room of the refectory (we had real silverware and cloth napkins!) The committee met to catch some details and to have a social time together. It was nice getting to know some on the committee better.

It was helpful to me because I was able to go through the slide shows with other committee members who could catch typos and could correct those things I didn't have right in the first place.

I came back to my room to make those changes. I have also been playing around with the new web-site (adding pictures, etc.) It is now 11:15 and I am tired. I need to be up early and to breakfast with the committee in order to solidify any last minute details.
