Portland woman speaks at Parkinson's event (09/20/07)
Taking Note
Becci and Gail Green of Portland recently took a trip to Bristol, Tenn. where Becci spoke at the Parkinsons at Steele Creek Park Event. The theme of the event was B.E. C.O.O.L. (Be Encouraging - Creatively Overcoming Our Limitation.)
Keeping with the theme, Becci's message was "Be C.O.O.L., Be Creative, Be Inspiring," which challenged listeners to make their corner of the world a better place to be and that God has a purpose for each life.
The event is intended to give local and on-line support group members and their families an opportunity to meet and socialize in an entertaining environment. The Greens' trip was underwritten by an anonymous donor.
