Email from one of my channel members:
"Hi Sam
Yesterday's call is why I love you and the people on your zoom call.

It started with chatting. Then great info from the Innosearch guys. More chatting and comments and questions from you and the general group.

Then, just as you were trying to close off the call one woman spoke. She was feeling terrified, overwhelmed, and abandoned with her vision changes. IMMEDIATELY people rushed to her need, offering specific agencies for her to contact, reassuring her that help and training are available. They assured her that she will learn to feel safe and confident and that she's not alone.

Jeeze, Sam! That woman's life just changed!"

If you're a channel member and haven't joined the monthly MEMBER'S ONLY ZOOM CALL, we'd love to see you in the next one! We meet on the first Saturday of every month at 1:00 PM Eastern. Make sure Youtube notifications are turned on and stay tuned to the community post for more information!
