State Leadership Conference for Chapter Leaders was a blast! One-hundred forty seven members from across the state of Minnesota arrived at Deep Portage Conservation Reserve. Upon their registration to conference they learned that a crime had been committed at Deep Portage. It was up to all of us to work throughout the week to solve the case and make our year as leaders possible. This was the theme for SLCCL 2008, Mission Possible.Members met friends from all across the state, and learned how to effectively become a leaders in their chapter.
One of my favorite sessions was the chapter breakout sessions. Here members went to breakout groups where they learned to have effective chapters. Rachael Dahlman and I presented on effective chapter meetings. Engaged members told of how to hold effective chapter meetings in their best theatrical voices.
At SLCCL we also held a service project. We had over 400 hours of service preformed. This will help work towards our 20,000 service hours. Remember that they can be submitted at mnffaservicehours@hotmail.com. My group made tie blankets that will be taken to the Veterans home in the cities. We made over 40 blankets that day. Here are some pictures.
My small group, the Hammers, had a lot of fun. We learned names and then headed off to volleyball. We lost in the second round, but were still able to have a blast. Our small group was by far the best small group. Below is a picture of the Hammers.
I also enjoyed cabin chats. Our great "Minnesota Hug" was very fun and memorable. We also enjoyed singing songs late at night. ....I have and Aunt......A roostashaw..... All of these songs were a ton of fun. Here is our cabin below.
Here are some shots from camp. I hope that everyone is recovered from camp by now. I'm looking forward to seeing how all of the information will be implemented to your individual chapters. Members, Make your mission POSSIBLE!
Stationed by the Rising Sun,
