| Stephanie Stoneleigh - of Parents Against Everyday Poisons Introduces Calvin in Richibucto |
The Catholic Church Hall Richibucto - packed to capacity (300+) with standing room only. I was honoured to be asked to introduce Calvin at this venue.
I was overwhelmed by the warm response to Calvin's visit in Richibucto. Calvin's reputation had preceded him and he was met with a standing ovation before he even took the stage to speak. I was totally overwhelmed by this warm reception that greeted Calvin and so proud to be a transplanted New Brunswicker too at that moment. My husband and I had to leave shortly after the introduction but I understand Calvin was on the receiving end of another standing ovation at the end of his Presentation as well. New Brunswicker's continue to amaze me with their warm hearts and appreciation.
The Organizers there - Denise Melanson, Debra Hopper and Murielle Gagnon, assisted by Jerry Cook did an absolutely fabulous job of organizing the event and many weeks of hard work went into that effort - with everything from refreshments and pre-event publicity to media coverage. I'm sure there are many who worked behind the scenes whom I do not know of but deserve our thanks none-the-less. I have to say that the Team in Richibucto led by Denise M. and Debra H. did an altogether admirable job of putting together an outstandingly successful Speaking Engagement for Calvin. They deserve our heartiest congratulations for their accomplishment.
