Wait a second…where did the meeting go?  Is it really gone already?!?  Today we enjoyed some fast-paced mini-workshops, posters, and a not-too-painful business meeting. We can’t wait to use you volunteers for continuing to improve ABLE.  I gotta say though, Jen and Mindy did a great job.  THANKS!!  Especially for the fantastic banquet tonight complete with lobster, dancing, spectacular views, wonderful live music and wine (you didn’t get any?  You should have been at my table!!  ) Everyone joins me in saying “WOW” and “Halifax RAWKS!” and “We wish you rest.”

Many participants will stretch their Halifax stay with planned excursions, family trips, or hang-out time tomorrow (Sat).  But, I’ve gotta head back.  Any of you stretchers are welcome to post a comment and let us know how the trips went. They look spectacular, and I’m sad I’ll miss it. It was great to meet so many new people, and to have so many new people (90?) experience ABLE this year. I’m sad to say goodbye, just as every year; but, will look forward to seeing my “once-a-year friends” in New Mexico in June 2011!!
