Nobody can say that photography is boring! I had a great time exploring this program for the first time at the Dallas Arboretum this past weekend. What can I say…, it was beautiful weather in the 70’s, sunny, clear skies, free admission into a well known tourist attraction where plant life and sculptures have more meaning than beauty, free lunch, fun entertainment from RISE volunteers, and most of all a new friendship with Michelle! I challenge you all to come try out this program and build your own memories and new friendships. Lea

I was having way too much fun! The weather was perfect so that meant the place was packed. Parking and getting everyone together was difficult. We had 26 folks show up in four different groups. DARS Fort Worth brought out a group of 6 for their first RISE activity and had a great day! Hope you guys join us for the next one!
Paul,
I wanted to say thanks for the tickets on Saturday. It was a beautiful day to have that activity, and I hope that it was a success for RISE. I got there about 1 pm, and I asked for you at the front gate. No one had any information, but I did find one lady who had the tickets but no other details. I checked with the different cafes / restaurants on site to see where RISE was meeting for lunch, but no one had any information. I also looked for a table or booth inside the arboretum, but I didn’t find it if it was there. So, I’m sorry I didn’t have the chance to meet you in person…I guess I should have asked for more details last week. As you know, it was really busy out there on Saturday, and I could have overlooked a sign for RISE.
Anyway, thanks again for the tickets.
Kevin
I had a wonderful time. Thank you for all your help, Paul and Peanut. :0)
