On December 10th, I was invited to present to the Sartell Senior Connection during their Thursday morning 'Coffee & Conversation' held at Country Manor Apartments in Sartell. I had planned on enjoying a relaxing morning with the group getting to know them and then sharing a full presentation; but instead, ended up with a very full work schedule and the group was gracious enough to allow me to slide in, make an abbreviated presentation, and then slide out. An ever-changing schedule is one of the many things you quickly get used to working as a Funeral Director!
I was able to share with them some background about why I wanted to become involved in the Mrs. Minnesota International pageant. I also shared with them an educational DVD on how grief can be the underlying cause of social problems in our society. They each all left with a packet with Holiday Grief Help and information on the benefits of talking about End of Life decisions.
A fun thing I found out while visiting with this group was that an Aunt of the current Mrs. Minnesota ,Kate Howe was in attendance!
