May 25 was the Educator's Day at
Making Connections. Those
involved and especially those who
took on responsibilities emerged
excited at the prospects of the
tasks ahead for them. Not being
present, this writer will look
forward to learning more as the
initiative moves ahead.
Among the crowd was a contingent of students from
Ryerson University. The link is provided as the individual
names of the young adults seen here with Heather Modlin
have drifted off on this writer. However, their story has not
for they are a privileged group who were selected from the
Child and Youth Care Program to attend the last
International in Florida and now, this National. Mind you,
they did fund raise. As someone who had an eye opening
experience upon attending his first conference (well, it was
the first CYC conference as well), a good six years into his
career, I can only hope these experiences are uniquely
career shaping for them as it was for me. Indeed, I would
wish that upon anyone attending any of the major
conferences. I hope each becomes a regular viewing the
conference experience as a touchstone with colleagues
over the years ahead.
It's On! The meet and greet set a tone of enthusiasm and
fellowship that did nothing but grow throughout the
conference.
