Yesterday's Ultrasound Dedication and Blessing Ceremony for Positive Options - Allegan went well.  We estimated that 30 people attended.  Bishop Lohse's prayers, blessing, and comments were excellent.  

 

The Positive Options staff were awesome to work with, especially the Allegan Director, Christina Madison.  They took care of many details for the ceremony including the food which included a cake with both of our logos on it and borrowing large scissors from the Chamber of Commerce for the ribbon butting..  They had some of their staff and volunteers present to give tours of their building before and after the ceremony.  They hooked up the ultrasound machine to a large TV, showed videos of a couple of actual ultrasounds at 9 to 10 weeks, and had their sonographer explain what we were seeing.

 

The local Allegan paper had a reporter cover the event.  Positive Options will send me a copy of the article once it is published.

 

Thanks to our Worthy State Secretary Charlie McCuen (and his wife Pam) for making the long drive from Roseville and making some comments.  Thanks also to Worthy State Faith Director Bob Bagley for attending.
