| I took this series of pictures in about 5 minutes. it is a very tiny snap shot of the evening. At this point people were still coming and the late comers never saw the video but signed the letter.
The coolest thing about the party was the range of ages from 9th graders to college age, and 40ish to 60ish boomers. The video created an interesting discussion with all the young people joining in. I was surprised at how aware and concerned they were, it gave me hope (not an easy thing to do these days).
This shot was taken over the island into the kitchen.
On the other side of the room......
These guys are waiting for the video, we didn't show it until everyone who was there had eaten.
