Every aspect of the day was well thought out. Dozens of brightly colored rebozos hung from the walls and over the tables of the conference room, and decorating each table were centerpieces with native beans and corn; the food was not from the Palisades but from a wonderful Mexican restaurant named Maya's; the entertainment was a children's bilingual choir. The keeper returned to us very pleased--excellent speakers, good reception of the ideas. One of the most influential principals stated at the end of the day that this was one of the most important social justice issues of our time. We were pleased that the keeper did not stay to party with the planners, but instead she came home to us, and to plan a retreat for Saturday. We would like to think we are the real reason.
