Athol in Florida for the Salvation Army Gala

One of Athol's friends form Harvard runs the Salvation Army in Sarasota in Florida and invited Athol to be the key note speaker at their Gala on 16 March.

Athol was supposed to go last year, but due high cholesterol and new medication he had to cancel his trip. So it was that this trip was finally happening. Unfortunately, I didn't go with as I don't have a US visa. Would have loved to have gone as I believe it's very nice there.

Athol was in Sarasota 14-19 March and gave a few talks.

The highlight was his talk at the Gala at the Ritz Calton on 23 March.

The Salvation Army kindly donated 50 copies of Pushing Boulders to READ to RISE to distribute to under-resourced communities in South Africa,
