One of the interesting things about being a speaker is the diversity of the audiences to which I speak and the diversity of the locations where I speak. Today I spoke to a group of 4-H agents who work in the Northeast section of North Carolina. This group is relatively young. The topic was about balancing work and family and we met in the Farmers Market Building in Rocky Mount, NC. That facility doesn’t get much use at this time of the year.
Last week I spoke in the Memory-Care Unit of the Rosewood Health Care facility which is a part of The Cyprus Retirement Community. We met in the Activity Center and most of the audience sat in wheelchairs or on walkers. The Rosewood schedules a variety of activities designed to enhance and maintain cognitive processes. I spoke about Rosenwald Schools and was pleased with the amount of interaction I had with this audience.
These two groups were very different.
