Hey i know you may not be able to do this or may read this but is there a way that you could make a word file of the live bog that you did today. I had class all day and could not follow a good portion of today but would like to read and benefit from the quotes and your thoughts? If you could then great, if not then i understand.
you should be able to do a copy and past. please make sure you credit perry though if you distribute it.

this was my first year attending unleash, and I must say it was awesome! I learned a lot and am on the way home feeling new inspiration and passion. also your staff and volunteers are amazingly happy and helpful. thanks again for sharing!!
I cannot say enough about your volunteers! This was my first “Unleash” and they were “amazing”!! Someone even opened my car door for me when I arrived. Wow. I was so impressed by how helpful everyone was all day long. You could really see their “servant’s heart”!! Thank you to Newspring for hosting such a great day!
