Convention 2008 Through the Eyes of Nina

Nina was kind enough to write up a day to day summary of her experience at Convention 2008. Her story will be posted one day every week or so. Here's the introduction...

Convention '08
by Nina

I had an AMAZING time at this year’s Convention. Soooo many memories and were created and lots of friendships were formed and I learned how to contra-dance! I’ve been to a lot of retreats but this was my very first Convention. I’d say it was even better than the retreats which is saying a lot since retreats are also insanely fun. I guess I liked Convention better because it was less structured and we were pretty much free to do whatever we wanted. We didn’t even have a bedtime! And we didn’t have to wash any dishes.

Tote Bags

As part of our SCYL fundraising efforts, the teens sold 100% recycled cotton tote bags printed with the "Love, Wisdom, Action" spiral at convention this year. Nancy was kind enough to send me this picture. Her tote bag visited Wahconah Falls State Park in Windsor, MA. Where has yours been?

Convention 2008 Rocked!

Now that it's over, let's be perfectly clear. The teens rocked at Convention 2008!

Those who attended know this and need to visit and contribute to this blog to share the love and good times.

Those who did not attend, need to visit this blog and enjoy seeing how much fun Convention is.

Either way, we've probably got a month's worth of material to talk about and share. As we enter into the summer camp season, we'll be posting lots of Convention articles, reports and pictures. Hope you all come back to visit this blog often, to comment and enjoy the memories!
