Final day of LIVESTRONG Summit

As I pack to take my luggage to the OSU campus, I reflect on the Summit.  I must say that the participants are among the most friendly I have ever met.  The organizational aspects were way up on the list, Texas Library Associaition still rates number one but LIVESTRONG comes in a close second.  Their branding of the event and delegates was by far the best and I really loved the memory stick with the Advocacy handouts.  This is an idea I plan to let TxLA know about.  The final celebration was a major plus and the panel discussion ended the event on a stong educational note.  Then it was off to box lunch, pick up luggage, bus to the airport and going through security yet again. You still knew you were with your LIVESTRONG friends.  We were all still wearing yellow, smiling and talking to all of our new and renewed friends.  Maybe the planes should have been painted yellow on the outside because the certainly were on the inside.  I am back in Victoria uplifted, educated, motivated, and ready to act.
