Wow! Louisiana Betas can dance!
This week, my dad and I made the trek to Baton Rouge, Louisiana for their Senior Beta Convention. We left around 6pm on Wednesday evening and literally drove straight through, and at 2:30 on Thursday morning, we checked into the Sheraton about a block from the Mississippi River! The next two days were complete chaos, but they were so much fun!
I managed to sneak in four or five hours of sleep before heading over to the River Center the next morning. When I got there, I was shocked at how big their convention was; I'm guessing there was somewhere around 5,000 people there! And there was plenty of activities to keep them busy; there were mini Leadership seminars, scavenger hunts, mega Twister games, pre-session dance instruction and more competitions than you could shake a stick at. Plus, their mixer was a blast! There was aways something going on.
Four officers visited from out of state, and it was so good to see the Louisiana officers strutting their stuff: Wesley Juneau, Mallory Richard and Maggie Joyner! All three National Officers attended this convention, Chris Bowman, Mallory and I, which was pretty cool!
With so much going on, all of us officers got the chance to help out a lot, which was fun. I helped out with a couple of different competitions, and I even got to be a judge! Mallory asked me to give her inspiration, so I got to speak at the second session.
Of course, I want to congratulate the newly elected incoming officers Lauren Lange, Anthony Corner and Jack Fletcher and all the other state winners!
I've got this week to catch up on school work and try to get some rest because on Friday, I'm leaving for Hot Springs-- Arkansas Beta Convention, here I come!
