The calm before the storm...

MRH Participants 2011 who attended the reunion in
Orangeville, Ontario. 

I managed to make it home from Orangeville, Ontario this evening despite Hurricane Irene who is paying us a visit. It seems I made it just in time as the wind has now picked up and I imagine flights are delayed / cancelled coming into New Brunswick. That being said, I also feel as if this weekend is the calm before the storm...

Our weekend was spent in intense planning sessions, mapping our events, organizing and hearing more stories from survivors Pinchas and Faigie and from second generation survivors. A busy, emotional and inspirational weekend; just the start to our chaotic lives and welcoming MRH / Holocaust educational teachings into our schedules. This is only the beginning; the calm before the storm.

Please stay tuned over the next few days as I took many notes this weekend, did a lot of planning, and have lots to share with you.
