Hey Everyone!
From May 15th to 20th, District Secretary Alex Allen and I attended Leadership Academy at Camp Waycross in Morgantown, Indiana. I had met some of the attendees at GATC or at the Sub-Region F Event, but the week provided us with an excellent means of meeting new people and getting to know each other better.
We took part in various exercises in which we discussed leadership development, performed a service project, participated in the Leadership Academy "Amazing Race", and bonded over a Leadership Academy dance that was developed over the course of the week.
We were split up into "neighborhoods" of ten to twelve, and our neighborhood time was largely focused on discussion and smaller group-oriented activities. My neighborhood was called the "Dancing Crane Flies" because of an encounter we had with a crane fly while in our neighborhood meeting room (coupled with the fact that several people in our neighborhood enjoy dancing). Each neighborhood had a facilitator. Ours was Sue McClernon, who served as Circle K International's first ever female International President from 1984 to 1985.
I'm sure you all hear about how a conference or meeting "is going to change your life". Indeed, when we hear that, we no longer give it credence, since we hear it so often. However, I could see the changes people underwent in the mere week we were away, so it proved to be a truly enriching and rejuvenating week, marked by new friendships and lifelong memories.
