I am so happy. I have given the speech and everything worked out fine. I managed to deliver the speech almost completely from memory. It was necessary as I had a microphone in my on hand and the paper in the other. Once I was through with the first page I had no hand available to switch to the second. Well, it worked out fine and the people lauged with me at the right places and seemed to listen.
After the formal part was over they came up to me and asked me questions to the bear and even asked me to sign some postcards made from my bears for them! As I was very nervous (still even at that point of time) and distracted by questions I nearly missed to write my whole name.
I found some time to take some pictures. This are shots right into the room:
And this is thereason why the room is called the Mosaic Hall, it’s the make off of the floor:
This is the bear before the opening of the veil:
It reminds me a bit of a piece of Cristo art. And here is the bear in the background after we pulled the cover off:
I think it was a successful evening. And over all it was a very nice one.

What a lovely floor! Of course the speech went well. The bear looks lovely, basking in the limelight…

I wasn’t so sure it would go well. I was really nervous. But the Mosaic Hall was such a nice place and the people were so nice too. Now, I am twice as motivated to draw on.
