Lots of learning

We have been busy the last few days in different
tracks from fundraising, advocacy, elections, to
community. I was in the advocacy track. We had
excellent teachers who gave us hands on practice with
skills to take back to our communities.
For example:
Each group made a 60 second commercial in which we were judged on getting our messages out effectively (Making Cancer a National Priority). The winning video from each track will be shown in the closing session.
We had simulations of meeting several different senators for 3 minutes each, to get our message out. We were evaluated on our effectiveness.
We were encouraged to go back and make our own videos and share on YouTube.
An inspirational video they showed as a great example, is on YouTube. It is a MUST see... Get to Know Jack
There is so much more to share, but little time. Back with more later.
