A Good Thing!

Is there such a thing as "too much of a good thing?" My response...NO!

Earlier this year, my teammates and I spent a wonderful week with the members of the Delaware State Convention. It was, how do I put it? It was a REALLY good time! So, when I heard that I was the lucky national officer chosen to return to Delaware for their state convention, I was very pleased!

At the Delaware convention there were roughly 400 outstanding students in attendance. During the convention, members participated in their first ever state-wide community service project. They successfully collected multiple truck loads of canned foods for the local food bank! It was quite a sight!

Speaking of food, we enjoyed every meal together during the convention. Students' favorite by far was the much talked about "taco bar." Yum!

Three days of CDEs, motivational speakers, sponsorship, and award recognitions offered a truly valuable experience for all those present. The state officers Amanda, Justin and Sara deserve a very large thank you! Their team of three didn't just "pull off" a convention, but they "rocked it!" I have never cried before at a state convention, not even my own...however, these three had so much sincerity that it brought tears to my eyes numerous times! Thank you Amanda, Justin and Sara; you worked hard, were prepared, and really went above and beyond what was asked of you.

I consider myself very lucky, because I will not have only visited Delaware in December and March, but I learned that I will be attending their NLCSO in July as well! I guess it is true; you can never get too much of a good thing :)!

Thank you Delaware members for having me in your state, you may be a small state, but you have one of the biggest hearts! That is what is important!
