Annual Meeting & CAV Training!!!

Wow - what an awesome weekend! We had a fantastic turnout at this year's Annual Meeting and Certified Adult Volunteer Training! We had almost 100 people for Saturday's meeting and over 150 people for the training! Thank you to EVERYONE for attending both functions!

Saturday's meeting opened with some committee reports on things like HIKE and Pageant and some general announcements. Dad Bill led our adults in an activity about interacting and working with people with different personalities than our own . . . .The teams of adults had to build a structure that would withstand my copy of the Constitution and Bylaws being dropped on it. One group was nice enough to build Flat Bill a house. :D

Lunch was provided by the HIKE Committee - thank you guys so much!! It was delicious!!! Y'all did a fantastic job!

After lunch we had some breakout sessions. Bethels rotated through three sessions: Building Your Bethel, Communication and Investigating Masonic Relationships. Thank you to Mom Stephanie, Dad Justin, Dad Grayson and Dad Bruce for leading those sessions. The day ended with one last session, designed to teach the respective council members about their positions. Thank you to Dad Bill, Mom Pat, Dad Coley, Dad Rob, Dad James and Mom Valorie for running those sessions!

Thank you to Mom Amanda for planning a trip out to a fantastic restaurant on Saturday night. Those that were able to attend enjoyed a yummy Italian dinner at Pronto Restaurant in Richmond.

Sunday morning we all met at the Scottish Rite to receive information and training on how to become a Certified Adult Volunteer for our Order. Our trainer, Mom Shelly of Utah, did a fantastic job! Not only was she extremely knowledgeable, but she was engaging and entertaining! I know that I learned a lot!!

Thank you to everyone who attended and made it so successful!
