Final Day at the Health Conference


Our last day at the convention and we have had a great time. The long hours can be a bit tedious, and eventually some silliness will occur. . .



Couldn’t ask for a nicer group to work with than RelWare. The photo opp was a great success. Folks from over a mile away in hall C walked hall B to find the DeLorean. We took almost 500 pictures. More stories from attendees about family members with PD. It seemed to make them feel better to hear us say Thank you for helping find a cure. Some people apologized for only giving a dollar. Every dollar counts. Every dollar means a lot!! At the end of the show, our Grand total came to. . .

$353.00!

And that is just from providing great folks a way to donate!

The 5:30 ending bell rang, and we were unplugged, packed up and ready to roll! We said our goodbyes to the crew, and a convention center professional was there to lead us out to the loading dock before the cases and forklifts swamped the aisles. It was a swift, smooth exit, and we programmed the time circuits to our next stop:


Off to Florence, Alabama for the GLUNA Film Festival. We are looking forward to seeing our old friends and meeting new ones. (Especially at the grade school appearance, where the organizers have developed at great way for kids to donate, Pocket Change! We’ll need a step stool for the little ones to reach Mr. Compassion but they want to help and we will make it work!
