Travel Log – 9/04/2007

Michigan Rehabilitation Services – Lansing

Today was our first customer meeting day. rick and I woke early to start a new routine. We both worked out (!) – we must have been a sight to other campers (probably on vacation), seeing the two of us lifting weights on our portable weight bench outside our 5th wheel. We then started learning a new “getting ready at the same time” dance. Although difficult to travel through big cities like Chicago, the extra space in the 5th wheel comes in handy.

We spent the day with our customers at the Michigan Rehabilitation Services. We all realized that we have been working together for 10 years! The What’s New training is going very well with the attendees learning quickly; providing many good ideas for their rollout and AWARE. Brian Cousineau was on site working closely with Kevin Spurgin at the Alliance Olympia office and Kerry Lehman from Michigan to tun the server as we trained.
