Week 16

The past week has been insanely stressful.  Monday was a day for catch-up.  I was sick on Wednesday, and worked from home.  I had spent most of my time preparing for the follow-up activities.  I hosted an activity called "popcorn" with about 60 people present.  I didn't have the most energy as my body is fighting infection, and the crowd was barely manageable since it was a crazy first night of follow-up.  I think the leaders and potential leaders got at least a little something out of the activity.  I spoke about how leaders are like popcorn and we animated an analogy for why leaders need support.  We also extended the activity to include an analogy of the infernal kernel that represents the things that get in our way as leaders.  The main prop was a beach ball.  This morning, we woke up early to host the Holiday Party.  We set up and manned a table that had applications for the toy drive, information about Jameson Camp, the toy-pick up reminder sheets, and lots of pens.  We also handed clipboards around for evaluations at the end of the movie.  The main events were watching Madagascar 2, pictures with santa, gifts for kids, concessions, and food basket raffles.  Now we are preparing for a sex education seminar.
