Summer ‘09 Retreat
Summertime. School’s out! That means it’s time for summer jobs, being outside and sister bonding time!
The LTU Deephers packed the cars and took off for Rose Lake in Northern Michigan to our sister Ellen’s cabin. Once there, we pitched tents and built a fire. Then the rest of the chapter roasted marshmallows and hung out while the Leadership Team had their first official meeting in the cabin. After that, it was time to hang out and relax! After all, it’s SUMMER!
Saturday morning after breakfast, the Leadership Team dazzled the chapter with their theatrical skills and performed a skit designed to clarify our Risk Management policy. Then, we slathered on our sunscreen, packed the coolers and headed to the beach! The VPMD team initiated a softball game in which we learned more about our PEARL program, and we definitely learned a lot—like which sisters can hit a homer and which ones would rather cheer from the sidelines! Everyone learned the basics of softball and we worked together to show off our teamwork skills. Next, we participated in some fun sisterhood activities before we broke off into groups to swim, play volleyball, or just veg out in the sun!
The return to Ellen’s cabin included dinner and another bonfire. We joked around, played cards, danced and just hung out. We had a blast and no sister’s head hit the pillow without a smile on her face!
Sadly, even the best weekends must come to an end. We packed up the cars again and left Rose Lake, but not without some fantastic memories! We are all looking forward to the school year and, hopefully, another awesome retreat next summer!
