1. I'd love to contact your group

I live in Brooksville, 1 hour north of Tampa. I'd come to the day's festivities, but I work activities in a nursing home, and I'm taking my residents on an outing tomorrow. Can't bring myself to call in sick because my folks depend on my for their fun. But I'll definitely be with you all in spirit!
