Thank you for such a wonderful presentation! You were amazing - and a tough act to follow. I got to speak to the group of hospital volunteers later in the afternoon, and there was still a buzz from the morning session. To that group, I could only say that Bash was encouraging the rest of us to be like all of them. They are folks who look outwardly for opportunities to help others, and your speech affirmed that there are some really great people in this world who are already at Step Z.

I just wanted to say how much I enjoyed Chris's presentation today about being a Global Citizen. I think that the presentation was right on target. First and foremost you have to listen, second, you have to respect other people as equals and third, you need to have courage for what you do. I agree with all the points! And 'compassion', extraordinarily important.

I thought your speech was very dynamic. It was energetic. I love the way you came on stage and you captured the audience's attention immediately. You connected with them, you made them laugh, you inspired them, and you showed them what Scouting really meant to you.

Chris Bashinelli is like a breath of fresh air! We had a wonderful time listening to him make comparisons between cultures and to talk about the commonalities between all of us as human beings.
