Travel and the Rice Lodge

This last weekend was pretty awesome. Saturday I went with a bunch of tourism major friends to a Travel and Cruise Expo at Twin River Casino. It was pretty exciting, with over 50 displays from travel agencies, cruise lines, and destinations, there was alot to take in. We signed up for every single free giveaway, and took every single free pen or pamphlet available. By the end of our time there, hardly any of us could even carry our heavy brochure laden bags. There was even free food provided by local vendors, and we sampled some tasty treats!

Sunday-Monday there was a Christian Student Fellowship Leader Retreat up at the Rice Lodge in Massachussetts. It was for all the student leaders to get together, network, and brain storm. Kim, Ben, Dan, me and Jasmine all went and there was a total of about 16 other leaders present- representing 5 schools from the New England region. (MIT, UMass Lowell, JWU, Clark) We had a great time playing awkward ice breaker games, and having an interesting round table discussion about our different campus activities and ministries. I am thankful for Andy Haynes and Chris James who mainly put it together and guided us through teaching and discussion. It is good to meet and befriend students from other schools around the area because they can really relate. I came away feeling really excited and re-energized from this weekend, ready to get things going with JWU CSF in the areas of Outreach, Inreach, Missions, and the University.
