Joel and I recently spent 6 days in Lorain County, up near Cleveland, and we packed in 13 assemblies during that time. A county prevention group brought us in for the second year in a row to travel to many of the county schools. We also partnered with Heritage Chrisitian Church in Avon to hold an outreach event at the tail end of our time in the area. Kevin, the youth pastor, and Guy, a local businessman, helped make the events happen and were kind enough to be our roadies for a few days. We're still trying to coerce Guy into selling his company and forsaking six figures so he can come on the road with us. Don't think that's going to happen.
Since we had been to many of the same schools last year, we brought a new presentation for those assemblies. We had been trying all year to craft a second assembly presentation for repeat schools, but had yet to feel like we created something solid. However, I think we finally hit the nail on the head as we got a lot of positive feedback from administrators, teachers, and students at the schools where we did the new presentation. This is huge as we really feel confident in offering schools a legitimate follow up assembly if they bring us back.
