HRTE at Leadership Connection: Day 1

Greeting HRTE Folk/Friends O'HRTE!

Devin, Julia, and I are winding down our first day at Leadership Connection 2010 at the lovely Lake Walloon in Northern Michigan.

I can't upload pictures yet, but it looks a little something like this:







We have been doing a lot of organization soul-searching,and in the grand HRTE tradition, have been eating lots of great food. Steak for dinner! So luxury.

We have decided that if HRTE were a machine, it would be a blender, because we blends a lot of different viewpoints and ideas into a cohesive, delicious smoothie of human rights awareness. We also chose to visually represent our group with pictures of: fireworks (start small but explode into something great), a winding path (who knows where the future of HRTE leads?), and a hot-air balloon (something that also starts small, inflated into something much bigger by the power of education, constantly moving and changing).

So far, the HRTEgans have been a success.

On the agenda for tomorrow: "Low Ropes" and personality profiling.

Hope everyone is having a wonderful vacation so far,

Sian (and Devin and Julia)
