>A couple of people asked me to report out on the 2 hour OS held in Spanish with me as a non-Spanish speaking space opener. The short version of the story is: It worked.

>The long version is that it worked really well.

>Thanks Jeff Aitken for working with me on the timing. The 30 minute opening, the one hour time frame for sessions and the 30 minutes closing worked. The organizers thought there would be about 20-30 people. Seven showed up. The theme: "What are the ways we as parents can support each other in our neighborhoods."  I said up front in Spanish that my Spanish is limited, otherwise, the 4 principles and one law were on the wall in Spanish, and an organizer translated a few points. When the invitation was made to come to the center, etc. three people were there within ½ a second. The market place was opened with about 6-7 topics, I went outside  for awhile. When I returned they were all in one group. At the closing, I used the "conocimiento" that someone posted at the April OS in San Francisco with Harrison. That is a cool ending. After that....when its over it's over...gracias and good night.
