10:30am –  Platform address by Fritz Williams, BES Leader: The Long View
We don’t think a lot about dying.  We’re too busy being alive.  But from time to time, we’re reminded that our feelings about death, including feelings we’re scarcely aware of, have a significant impact on the way we live our lives.  Fritz Williams pauses in his busy life to consider our feelings about death and their everyday consequences.

12:15pm – After a quick trip to the snack table, join chief packers Em Sabatiuk and Belva Williams as they repackage the Moveable Treat goodies for delivery on Monday.
