World Neothink®  Day 2009 – Part Two

I started the morning of our World Neothink® Day Gala by testing the broadcast capabilities.  The vendor was down for over an hour and once the vendor was available my home Internet service was malfunctioning.  I was on the phone for over an hour with the IP technician trouble shooting the problem with no success.  After hours of working through internet challenges the time came for me to leave for the clubhouse.  The moment I had been diligently creating had finally arrived.  Yes!!!

My cell phone was ringing continuously as some of the members of our decorating and set-up team advised me of their arrival status.  Two members of the decorating team who had the majority of the tablecloths and elegant floral arrangements let me know that they were running extremely late.  Fortunately my ride arrived on time.  I had just walked outside my building as he pulled up.

We arrived at the clubhouse fifteen minutes early and waited for the maintenance man to open the door to the party room.  Another member of our decorating team arrived five minutes after we arrived just as the maintenance man appeared with the keys.  Between the three of us we had two laptops, a video recorder, a tripod, extension cords, power surges, computer speaker equipment…treasure chest, tablecloths, napkins, eating utensils, soft drinks, water, chips…  The time had come to create the party room into a professional environment for our World Neothink® Day Gala and its broadcast to the world.

As I shared my vision for the gala set-up with the two men we began to move furniture to effectively capture its essence.  We set-up the tables and chairs banquet style and covered three of tables with tablecloths, colorful centerpieces, and black & white napkins to get started.  The electronic equipment along with our treasure chest for our Neothink® Manuscripts were placed on top of the bar which we moved to the area we chose for the control room.  The magic had begun.

By the time we had set up the room other Neothink® members began arriving with their laptops, a boom box, delicious food, drinks, Neothink® CD’s…The puzzle pieces were coming together…
