A few months ago our Area Authority asked me if I would chair a committee to plan and implement a BYU (Brigham Young University) Fireside for the entire Chicagoland area. President Samuelson would be the main speaker and he would bring Head Football Coach Bronco Mendenhall and Athletic Director Tom Holmoe with him. The Fireside took place last night at the Westin O'Hare Hotel. It's such a busy time of year we found ourselves competing with high school graduations, seminary graduations, state athletic competitions, AND the final performance of American Idol. We were sweating bullets about filling the grand ballroom. We estimated the crowd at about 800 and it was a fabulous evening. We are on our way into the City for a fund-raising luncheon today and then my responsibilities will be over! Breathe in, breathe out. Breathe in, breathe out.
