ALS Informational Seminar at Key Project

I learned the hard way that if you want to go to Kahekili Highway on the H3 from Kailua, you exit Kam Highway. Otherwise you go all the way to Stadium to get out and double back to Kaneohe. I learned it the long, 20-mile doubleback way, but next time, I'll know.

The KEY Project is way past Temple Valley but the view is beautiful even if you are 15 minutes late. The MDA crew was already there and so were all the other booth displayers. Kristen mounted the board onto the MDA table while Leslie helped me tape Lou Gehrig on the wobbly easel. Peggy is ensconced beautifully on the table on an equally beautiful metal easel. I caught lunch from servers Crystal, Leslie and Audrey while Ronda worked the crowd. There was toe-tapping music from this nice young man and I wave to Chester also working the crowd. There were many familiar faces. I meet the newly diagnosed families and try to calibrate my friendliness to their receptivity index. I give them copies of our brochure, printed in glorious color a couple hours before the UH crowd pau hana'ed at 4:30 pm Friday, thanks to my friend, Christina Higa of PEACESAT.

So here: enjoy the images. Sorry, I'll get better with practice, promise! Cross my heart.
