Gave Presentation! 14 July 2006

Good day, Everyone

I am happy to report that I was invited to give a presentation on 14 July 2006. It was the first time I attempted to give a presentation on the 6 mountains of the Seven Summits - typically, I've given presenations on only one mountain at a time.

Everyone was having a good time on the beach, as it was a beautiful evening and the banter was very enjoyable. Only when the bugs got a little bad, did we head inside for the evening's main entertainment. At the beginning of my presentation, I was sure thank my Advanced Base Camp Sponsor, LP (www.laprairieinc.com) and my family who has supported me thus far.

The presentation went on for a while (a long while!), and I shortened many of the stories of my climbs. Everyone had a wonderful time, and they seemed to especially enjoy the props I brought along - the hostess even tried on my down suit!

It was a wonderful evening, and I thank my hosts for inviting me into their home, and allowing me to share some of my adventures.

Best regards,
Meagan

Meg on Sudbury's MCTV News!

Good day, Everyone!

I have just returned from Sudbury, my hometown, where I was featured on the MCTV news!

I'm grateful to Sasha Novack at MCTV, for taking the time to interview me - and post my story on the evening, late evening, and the next day's noon news. She did a wonderful job - many thanks!

This was my first television interview - and once aired, I picked up on some things to improve, in terms of technique for tv interviews - but overall, it was a fantastic experience.

This was the first of the tv interviews, as I hope to get the message out, increasingly over the months, that anyone who has a dream or a desire to do something, should just go for it. Acknowledging that you want to achieve something is half the battle, you just have to take the steps/action to make it happen!

Stay tuned, everyone! The pre-expedition preparations and experiences continue....
