nal Update • Regional Update • Regional Update • Regional Update • Regional U 12 San Joaquin Region The Mighty Mean San Joaquin Region has chosen the theme of, “Our Jacket, Your Journey, Our Legacy” for the 2013-2014 year. To ensure that all of the San Joaquin Region members were ready for their journey the San Joaquin Region hosted the “San Joaquin Region Team Building Boot Camp”. This was facilitated by the Regional Officers along with the help of the State Officers. Members were invited from throughout the region to attend one of two overnight sessions in August. This event was held early in the year to ensure that members could use the skills they learned throughout the school year. The over two hundred students at this activity participated in workshops such as “Back-to-Back” in which students had to work together with their team to stand up simultaneously using only support from each other’s backs. Another activity students enjoyed taking a part in was the “True Colors” workshop presented by two chapter advisors from the region. Students took a quick survey and based on their personalities and were given a color. The students then split up to see what strengths they had to bring to their team. As a result of this camp we look forward to the legacy the members will create!
