[Ohio-talk] I'm Back

[Dr. Smith]

We had a great time in Dayton this weekend and the weather was lovely.

I attended the Miami Valley chapter meeting on Saturday and the thing that became very clear to me that I'd like to pass along here is that we need to request materials in accessible formats whenever we can and especially when we invite guests.

They will probably not be able to provide them but we should always ask.

The Conleys, Richard and myself, then went to the graduation party for Macy McClain and ate them out of house and home and thoroughly enjoyed ourselves and their gracious and warm hospitality.

It was truly a day of celebration and it couldn't have happened to a more wonderful family like the McClains!

Finally, the Saturday evening event was great as well and although I am a  bit tired as I write this, I feel that the weekend was quite rewarding and a great way to start my 6 week vacation.

The Miami Valley chapter is an active and growing group and we should all be proud of their progress.
