Chelle reported that, "Basically, I got there Friday and
chilled. Most of the CKI members were in Abbott Hall. I shared
a room with Paula Chrin, a Lt. Governor for the Capital
District. It was cold, but the place was gorgeous and the food
was good. So then we went to opening session and there was a dance.
The whole theme was "Dancing With the Stars",
so there were groups based off of different music groups and alot
of the speeches were themed on dancing. I was in the Aerosmith
group. It was much fun.
International President Brian Egger was there
and we hung out for a bit. The Key Club International VP was there.
I know the Circle K Governors from Carolinas and New Jersey were
there. Alot of Key Club Governors were there (even from New York).
We had another dance on Saturday night and small group time. We
did a group cheer, performed a group skit, and some other things.
I really enjoyed it and the Facilitator's name was Andy Thibodeau.
He's a Canadian.
I definitely want more of us to go to this next year. :)"
