A member of the YSC has been putting together this poster, and I'm on it (second row, third from left). It's still being constructed (more faces are being added, they're working on the verbage) but even incomplete I think it's very, very powerful.

Closing Ceremonies at the 3-Day
I know that this will be a major milestone for me, and I already know that I am going to cry for most of the closing ceremonies - tears of pride, success, fear, and uncertainty about the future...as well as hope. This year has been an amazing journey, and more than my official one year anniversary, I am using this event as a way of closing the year. I would be deeply touched if any of you chose to attend the closing ceremonies with me.

Closing Ceremonies
Sunday, August 27
4:30 pm

Off Montlake Blvd. NE and NE 45th Street
Seattle, WA 98195
View maps: Entrance / Exit
Spectator Note: Friends, family and supporters should arrive to the Closing Ceremonies site at least one hour early to get the best view of the program. To witness the final victory walk of the 3-Day is truly an experience worth the wait. All walkers and crew members will remain in the Participant Holding area where they will receive their victory shirt, cheer on their fellow walkers and crew members, and reflect on their experience before the dramatic silent victory walk into Closing Ceremonies.
