A Good Group
The day of our orientation dinner with the youth, families and project partners was an overcast day and fairly cool. I was afraid none of the young people would try out the paddle boats at Kickapoo Landing. But when asked, many hands shot up. Teams of two and three got on the boats and paddled around in their life jackets and smiles. They made it look easy. When the chain on one of the paddle boats came off, Bob canoed out there and put it back on. Glynnis brought her kids. They sure are cute! When we shared after dinner about what the project was about, many of the young people stood up and spoke, thanking us for giving them this opportunity. We forgot to add “gun safety/shooting” to the list of activities they could select. Some of the parents looked worried. All but one of the youth signed up for this activity. I went to bed feeling like we have a good group of young people and a committed group of partners.
