Tonight's picture was taken on May 23, 2007. This was Mattie's first day of summer camp at his preschool! As you can see he was all set and excited to go. Mattie loved his preschool and summer camp. It was only a three hour program, but it was there that Mattie made some significant friends. The irony is SO DID I! Most of the moms whose children were in Mattie's classroom are still connected to me today. Most of them are involved in the Walk and helping us raise funds for the Foundation. In my perspective that is due to the connections their children had to Mattie and that tender time in our lives in which we developed these friendships.
Quote of the day: Most people think that Americans are generous because we are rich. The truth is that we are rich, in significant part, because we are generous. ~ Claire Gaudiani
Yesterday I posted on Facebook and Instagram this photo, inviting people to come to the Walk and enter our corn hole tournament (mind you the dog is holding a bean bag used in corn hole). These photos are being liked on Instagram. A social media platform I am NOT wild about, but teenagers and young adults LOVE IT!
It was another busy day getting ready for the Walk and yet on top of that we are flying to Memphis, TN tomorrow to attend a conference. NOT to speak at it, but to receive a National Award on Thursday! So the next time you hear from me, I will be in Memphis.
