Today was a unique day that began with a tour of the Freedom Trail. My seminar group divided up the tour and we each had to research a spot and talk about. I think that it was great practice and it made the event that much more fun. It was not followed by a seminar meeting, as typically the Seminars are, simply because of time constraints. We had plenty of time to talk on the tour, though. It was a great experience.
After the tour, the IO's had a luncheon with the Regional Coordinators. It was fun to meet other coordinators within my division and it was great to run into my own regional coordinator, whom I have really not seen much of during the trip. Basically it was basically a meet and greet - more for networking than anything else. The event was pretty short and was followed by a small amount of down time that was much needed.
At around 3:30, we had our first Reader's Theater rehearsal (which I will post pictures up as soon as I get them). The IO's have a hilarious play that opens the evening and I have no idea how many groups there are going to be but I can say that last year's was great and I am certain that this year is likely to be better.
That night's session was with Fred Haise from Apollo 13. He was the first presenter that utilized a visual aid which was very unique. It was a great presentation, definitely among my favorites. Afterward, each seminar group got there picture taken with Mr. Haise. The following seminar group meeting, a lot of interesting questions came up. The facilitators of the meeting had a different way of running things that, probably wasn't very popular, but worked great.
The IO's then hosted a game night at the dorms. This was something that we began talking about only late yesterday so there were definitely so bumps in planning and beginning it, but it was incredibly successful. There were a lot of people there and everybody seemed to have a great time. My favorite part was that we were able to just relax and have fun with everyone there. For those who attended, you'll have to give us some feedback! :-)
Love,
Danielle
