[Ohio-talk] health fair

[Denver Jones]

I have reserved posting about this, I wanted others to express themselves first. Thank you Richard and Deanna for posting. Thank you also Paul Jordan for your vote of confidence and your comments. Now, I would like to get down to it. First let me think my entire staff and all the work they did to make it happen. Then, all of the volunteers, especially Carole Akers and Lou Anne who traveled almost 3 hours to get here to do these massages those two women drove the furthest and I am the most grateful to for all the traveling they did to help us. Sharon Dodds who was my boots on the ground in Senia did a phenomenal job. Not to minimize because Karen Warner stepped up to the plate and did an incredible job as well. Thank you to the Ohio Association of guy dog users who at the last minute stepped in and partnered up with us they were incredible. Thank you to the volunteers from the Miami Valley chapter and my members from the diabetes action network that also helped out.  We received a great deal of positive feedback from visitors as well as exhibitors! Most importantly noted, where the comments that said from exhibitors they didn't care where we went in Ohio, they want to be a part of our next and future events. Other positive comments from the exhibitors included it was the most interactive event they had ever been a part of! We even had request from the library and the public health services as well as other exhibitors to return next year.   I also want to report on a comment or two from visitors. A visitor told me before leaving she was truly grateful for the nurse that was there, she had a better understanding of her blood pressure and what the numbers meant. She was also better informed of how to control her blood pressure. A Nother visitor said she was leaving she couldn't believe we had adaptive technology there it was so helpful and she was excited to work with freedom scientific in the future. I think the comments and feedback we she received is probably the most informative of how that health fair turned out, again thank you everyone for all the work you did.

Respectfully,


Denver. Jones
