10/08 Jan Coe (now in Perth, Western Australia) listened live to the 1 October CCT Network event and reported: > I could only stay until Julie's presentation ended, but I thoroughly enjoyed all the ones I heard. Technically, it was pretty good, too, with only a few muzzled/fuzzy bits. Even Lori speaking on a telephone was completely audible. I think that all of your (you, Tara and Jeremy) efforts to promote the program and a sense of inclusiveness and connection are really beginning to pay off. The CCT program events are way more 'visible' and on the radar now.
