Everyone that attended left with a great sense of empowerment after
Steve’s "Visualize or Fossilize" session! The following quote from a
participant seemed to be the voice of all PRIDE Community
representatives that attended:
"I
really enjoyed coming to my first PRIDE Day! It was wonderful and very
informative. I especially enjoyed the speaker, I learned so much,
laughed so hard, and am still thinking about what he said. Our group
talked the entire way home about future plans, and got so many great
ideas. Thanks for a wonderful day!"
- Eden Fuson, Potwin PRIDE
