Hi Ken- Thanks for your acknowledgement that's it's easy to assume. I hope it helps that the Local PCOC group is planning activities and you idea has been added to our list. I assure you we are always open to ideas, and welcome the input, but keep in mind the powers-that-be are volunteers with busy lives just like yours.

What would be EVEN better is to actually come to convention AND lead these activities. It's easy to say "someone" should do something, but what convention planners and attendees NEED to folk to come up with good ideas, and then actually make it happen. The next in-person OUSA convention is in SanFrancisco in October, Ken, may I ask for your commitment to lead this activity? MaryD Hi Mary - yes, I definitely get your point, and I wish I could commit to leading such an activity, but I'm running a nonprofit myself now and I've got my hands full trying to stop the continuing damage from the pandemic. It's good to hear what you point out though, because it's easy to fall into the trap of assuming that there are powers-that-be in place already handling such matters and thinking that to suggest running an activity might be stepping on someone's toes. - Ken
