July 9, 2015 Death Cafe Niagara
A write up of Death Cafe Niagara
It was a warm one as we met in early July. Again, the attendance numbers were just right, a little less than 20. Any more and we found we might have to break up into separate groups. Not an ideal situation, having 2 group discussions going at once. Last July, we tried to meet outside, but it was too hard to hear each other.
Michelle and I as co-facillitators were called away for interviews, but in our sted, Michelle's Mom Beverly stepped up and kept the coversations going. She did an excellent job. Everyone reported the evening went well.
The TV report went well. They left out the nuts and bolts of the national and international Death Cafe movement, but we mentioned them in our interviews. Thanks to Luke Moretti, and photojournalists Mike Mombrea and Rich Ersing for tackling a touchy subject and presenting it in a positive light.
