CYAID 2011 Day 3 started up with a highly charged presentation by rapper Dwayne Gibson. D.O. holds the Guiness Book of World Records record for the longest free-style rap at an amazing 8 hours and 45 minutes! His incredible presentation gives the take home message of PSP that is Practice, Sacrifice, Persistence. Check out his website: D.O. Defy the Odds

Great job by the MSS OSAID members helping out at the trade show. We picked up lots of new resources for education and some great new posters and giveaways. Wait for Wednesday at lunch to see (or get) some of those at MSS.
AJ Rodham spoke to the group about his long journey of recovery from a near-fatal car crash that has still left him with an acquired brain injury. His speech and video were very moving. He had great tips, the most critical of which was to “Never Give Up”. I’d love to see him at MSS next year!

MSS OSAID has decided to change its colour scheme to better reflect the provincial OSAID group. We have ordered new t-shirts with our OSAID logo. The shirts will red and the logos will be white. A bonus is that these will look great for Canada Day as well! Shirts will be delivered at our group meeting next Wednesday (in time for our CYAID conference departure on Thursday, Yeah!)
