IMPORTANT TO THOSE ATTENDING MY EVENTS
This is a friendly reminder that the POINT of my events is for people TO FORGET THEIR PROBLEMS & PAIN for an hour or two. It allows them to relax & recharge.
That said, those in the thick of fundraising PLEASE set aside promotions, recruitment and pasting of articles/factoids while you are in attendance. Your restraint will be appreciated.
Spoken as someone who survived cancer AND watched my mother suffer via Face Time for 3 weeks w/COVID before she died (and a fundraising mega cease their empathic gestures as soon as she stopped breathing), I recognize that there is a need for places like mine where friends, families & caregivers can have a little downtime before forging on ahead once their viewers close - and NOT get pummeled over the head.
There are many ways to help people and this is MY way.
Thank you for your respect.
