Hi everyone!
We had our meeting today and it went wonderful! We met with 3 National AZD representatives, and 2 active members from the area, and 2 alumnae (sp?) representatives. Everyone we met with was SO NICE! They seemed very impressed with the campus-they kept talking about how beautiful it was, and what a unique environment it is. Honestly, UCSC is an amazing place, I totally agree with their opinions of it. And then later in the day we had a more formal meeting, and we ate finger foods and they gave a presentation on AZD and what it meant to them, and the basics of their organization, etc. Then we talked about NBO, and gave them some brochures with info, etc. We had a question and answer session, and we really learned alot that you just can't find out from a website or brochure. The entire day went so great, I couldn't even imagine it going any better. And they all remembered our names, and Delia (the greek advisor) said that they were really impressed by us. When they told us certain stories and facts- such as how they were founded, or experiences they had had- I seriously got chills and almost cried. I'll post later with the more technical details, of like how colonization would go, what needs to happen, etc, but for now, I just wanted to let you all know that things are wonderful and as always I really really appreciate all of your support and advice!
love, Corina
