Pumpkinfest

Things are still relatively quiet. I'm getting ready for the events that are about to come. I need to work on my presentation and I have some other pans in the fire that I need to get working on. My mother was always so exasperated with me because I may be a weee bit of a procrastinator.

Yesterday I approached the Gold Wing Road Riders Association again about the Pumpkinfest parade and I'm happy to say that 25 people signed up to be a part of the float! I think that is about 10 bikes, but I have to double check for sure on the sign up sheet. Either way it's going to be noticeable, which is what I'm going for. I'm pretty excited about all of this, so I really hope it turns out well.

There's a new group in the area too. True Compassion was started by Pam McRae to bring awareness to organ donation as she knows 2 families where one person is giving another a part of their liver. How amazing is that!?! One person is giving another their life back, and that is truly how it will feel the recipient. This just reiterates the fact that live donation can work! I wish these 2 families well in this amazing adventure.

Find Pam on Facebook. Just search for the "True Compassion" group.
