A day of service
The
Saturday before KScope (or Kaleidoscope depending on how long you’ve
been attending the very best EPM conference there has been) is
traditionally a day when ODTUG gives back to the non-Oracle community.This year it was a painting, building, sign erecting, cleaning, you name it, we did it day at Crestholme Boys & Girls Club of San Antonio.
It was a tremendous amount of fun before what is after all a pretty serious week (I love KScope, but it is work) and of course one gets to meet people in completely other tracks that would be strangers otherwise. I think it is one the many things that sets KScope apart from other conferences. It is a great organization.
And now the photos
On the school bus to Crestholme

Isn’t this a nice gift?
This was our appreciation gift – what a nice gesture and so pretty.![](https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjjUzm98bVatU96V-gPeeuPmgS_IUSTBgunuCObaPXxLcp43BcTKgB9TXPUJeg-RgeieB4N8QW1F0MYu_uY6RKona27SFYx79YePJ-dXhbxYb2KiVzkO8Z-hIXVbumqtzBSDtTdvifaBqw/s640/P12.jpg)
Was that enough work for today? Nope.
Here we are stuffing the bags that attendees get on KScope registration. The fun never stops at ODTUG.![](https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjUlObIpnDzqRLfWiF6e46tzIVsa9l1huKP5InWXO3rNsA9jLzWAY2t60IS2oauor2pgSsvgFxJYay3BBHZJyUJ8yqEiZjf5V1O9OdOBr0CVDT_q5dfT7j5h_p2zj14x0N_eYyvj5VFohY/s640/P13.jpg)
All in all quite a bit of fun
Oh my goodness, it was great, but I am tired. As my buddy Tim Tow likes to say, “KScope is a marathon, run at a sprint pace.”Why aren’t you here?
