Reminds me if one of those old public service announcements out here...

"Its 12:35 pm, do you know where your MOC leadership is?"

To all who attended:

I apologize, we had some failures of leadership and miscommunications.  As a result, no one representing the organization was in attendance.  I understand this lead to confusion and disappointment amongst several who attended, and rightly so.

I am discussing this with our leadership team to try to understand better where we failed and how we can avoid this in the future.  Please be assured, I don't take this lightly.  I would appreciate the chance to apologize to each of you personally and get a better understanding of what did happen at the event (as I did not attend myself).  I would appreciate if anyone with concerns or who attended and is open to talking about what did go on at the event would email me at president@miopencarry.org

Stuff happens, it looks like it all worked out in the end. :)
