This was a really nicely done event and I wanted to ENCOURAGE people to follow the link to the speaker's blog/website in order to learn more. There was a family illness that prevented her from making the drive from Boulder and back but they showed a DVD of her doing a presentation then Skyped her in! It went well, and I'm actually glad it happened that way so that I can suggest organizations, schools, 'people working to help our upcoming generation'/concerned citizens, might contact her about doing a similar event for them. Perhaps she felt that was the next best thing to being there and she'd be able to be 'present' virtually at more places and inspire more gatherings of the sort I experienced last night. It was GRATE!
