Lisa - Don't Read Further!

Lisa - Don't Read Further!

First I hope everyone (including Lisa) is safe at home with warmth and an abundance of health for all. Lisa - seriously - stop here and ignore this message! Dude?

SO this message is to get the word out - and yep NOT tip Lisa off about this little project.

So everyone else who knows about #SASUserGroupEvents and #SGF is aware what a tough year this is. There is a team out there which was organized and championed by Lisa for the production of #SGF2020. This team has worked for over a year to produce this event and then shifted this spring as global events unfolded to help our user community. And still has continued to work heroically and adapt as the circumstances shift thru an epic and distinct global event.

To Lisa and her Conference team - "we" the #SASUsers who would have attended are really proud of her/them. Period. We also "stand" (safe at home) with Lisa and her team.

We just didn't know how to express that message of solidarity, thanks and appreciation.

That is until late Friday 4/10 this idea below came about and now the scramble is on to get this crazy project going - and yep - without LISA knowing! (Lisa - leave now)

We really do want to surprise her here in a few short days - but the clock is ticking.

Here is the plan... (Lisa - LOOK AWAY - NOW! - Geeesh!)

What we are all doing is sending in a "clip" of each of us expressing "Lisa and SGF2020! We miss you and thanks for all the work!" or "Hi Lisa we are really proud of you! Let's see everyone at #SGF2021 in Las Vegas!". So I'm gathering all those clips and putting them together into a montage. I've prepared a PDF with the instructions.

Here is where I need "your" help... I know many who are behind the scenes of #SGF and other groups like #wuss #wcsug #mwsug #scsug #sesug #pharmasug and more... but I need help reaching them. How do you "reach" people who didn't go to a conference? And when we "all" didn't go to a conference? I thought it would be tricky and yes it is. But not if the right people help spread the word. It's sort of working and taking off - but I could use some help! I'm trying to spread the word without Lisa finding out! (Lisa - i told you leave now)

So can you help me/us?

Are you a little shy and dont want to do a video clip? Thats ok! Send us a single slide Powerpoint with your message. We will add it in! The PDF describes what we are trying to do. We also extended the deadline to submit your clip a little longer!

This 2020 #SASconference season is going to be tough on our #SASCommunities. Please Support your Local and Regional #SASUserGroups! We need to "virtually" gather together and make it thru this - and then look forward to #SGF2021 in Las Vegas!

On behalf of myself and other #SASLocalUserGroupLeaders - we are focused on how to help our #SASUsers near and far. Right now we just want to focus on a few...

Lisa and her team! Thanks Lisa (dude you better not have read this message!)

To the #SGF2020 Conference team - we really do appreciate your efforts and help! We miss you and cant wait to see you again soon!

Best,

Zeke Torres - sas user group geek.

Lisa Mendez, PhD - Clearly I am NOT a video editor... This is the best i could do without a "Proc Video Edit" function or something... I think this conveys how many of us feel. We want to thank you and see you and many SAS Users soon! Best - zeke - https://youtu.be/Tu6FKuOR3gg
