In addition to several meetings with county and state officials as well as at the state hospital, we also had a nighttime gathering with our members including a dinner and then a business meeting. It was so great because we got to meet Sheree Sobel from New York in person as she and her husband came to spend some time with their son, Doug who lives here. People took photos but I need to track them down to add.
We also joined a community event sponsored by Jenny Wilson, major of Salt Lake County. They hosted the film, "The Definition of Insanity" which is centered on the Miami-Dade model to divert and support people. Judge Leifman, a central force in that program, was there to answer questions as well. We were able to connect and reconnect to many people we have spoken with over the past three months as well as meet new people in this arena. We shared a table with NAMI Utah in the lobby and got "caught" in the photos they posted on their social media platform. All in all, a very productive event for us.
Now, we are gearing up for our film event which is this Thursday at the Salt Lake City Library! We are hosting the film "No One Cares About Crazy People." More on that later.
