GSA Gathering!

     Today was certainly a busy day for our GSA! Fifteen of our members travelled to L.C.V.I. today to attend a GSA gathering with three of the other GSA’s in our region. There were representatives there from I.E. Weldon, Fenelon Falls, and L.C.V.I. We played games, socialized, and discussed our GSA’s pasts and futures. All in all, it was a great day!

      The first thing we did when we arrived was introduce ourselves. After that, it was on to some rather enjoyable games. Once the food, a delicious bounty of pasta, was all prepared and heated, everyone dug in, and within minutes, not much food was left on the table. I myself managed to eat two helpings, doing my part in reducing leftovers! After the meal was through, we socialized, and played one more game. Then we watched a thought-provoking movie, signalling the end of the gathering.

      All in all, the atmosphere was friendly, and happy. I for one enjoyed myself a lot, and even managed to get a number of email addresses! Mark and Ryot, who had a slap bet going to see who would get the most phone numbers, tied it up, and everyone had a good laugh on the way home as they both slapped each other. We stopped for Timmies, and then were on the way again, making it back to the school around three. To sum it all up, the trip was a lot of fun, and the feedback I got from it was all positive! We’re all looking forward to another one, perhaps one we’ll even host!

      We are also looking forward to the Fearless! conference in Huntsville on May 18th.  We’ll keep you updated.

Support all those who have been, or are being bullied.

So what are you going to do on Feb. 29th?
a) wear pink.
b) wear pink.
c) wear pink.
d) all of the above.

So? Wear pink on Feb. 29th!

Anyone else think the word "pink" sounds weird right now?

Test Post

This is the first blog post for Hal High's GSA.
Of course, it contains no actual information, and will probably be removed later, once we get some stuff to put in.
Right now, I'm just testing all the blog fonts and whatnot, you know?
Making sure it looks top notch for when we actually <i>have</i> some stuff to put here. . . which should be soon, I hope.

If you see this, you're probably viewing the blog too early, either that, or they just never got around to deleting me.
