Note from Eloyda Gomez our Community liaison:Dorothy Montoya and I got there about 4:30 PM, after we got our name badges we went and set up our table. Then we went to eat in the dinning area with the families & other exhibitors. We both saw some patients and families we knew. There was about 12 or 15 other exhibit tables. The exhibit room opened up about 7:00 PM and lasted until about 9:00. We must have seen about 200 - 250 people! We handed out a lot of information and spoke about ACONS to a lot of people. I was really amazed at how many people just wanted to talk and ask questions about their cancer. It was a lot of fun to be able to just listen and answer questions. I think those people just want someone to listen and be sympathetic to them. Although we did hand out a lot of information, we ran out of the bags and coloring books and crayons right away. Well I am glad we went, we had a good time and I think all the people we saw got some good information and seemed to enjoy it.
