Arrival day is just over and the sounds of reunions still ring in the hall outside of the Operation Smile Guest Services Lounge. Megan Coe has worked tirelessly and as I write this is discussing room arrangements with our friends from Egypt. She has done such an incredible job and I am truly in awe of International Programs and the feats they pull off!
IT is such a reward to hear laughter and rejoicing after weeks of hard work and at least 4 sleepless nights for Kristin Hatcher and myself. Kristin has just left with a doggy bag of food for her husband and 2 red eyes but leaving with a wide grin and seemingly excited for tomorrow.
I sit here in Guest services Lounge, greeting the last of our arrivals for the evening and putting the finishing touches on tomorrows program and am so excited about all of the information and ideas that will be shared in the morning. The entire Norfolk staff will join us for an incredible morning of storytelling. Danna's father Jim Weiss, a professional storyteller will be speaking at lunch and will surely help us all become even better at sharing the incredible stories of the children we serve.
Well, I'm ready to turn in, I think I shall sleep quite well tonight, my room-mate Megan on the other hand may be up until the sun rises making sure all of our Friends get here safely, securely and are greeted with a smile...
see you in the morning!
