Lights! Camera! Action! The GLC Opens to Rave Reviews from Attendees! Submitted By Emily Brewen from the chapter of king city T W his year I attended the Greenhand Leadership Conference. It was a great experience and I had a lot of fun. The entire event the leaders of the conference were pumped and energized, which made it more exciting and thrilling for all of us. Everyone in attendance was participating and having fun the whole day - which obviously made it a better time than just sitting in a classroom all day! e all took part in team-building activities that required everyone to participate and ultimately gain leadership skills. We learned how to work with each other and get along, even when we may have disagreed with another person. One of the activities we participated in had us hold a piece of PVC pipe in between two people and form a line so that another person could walk across it. Another fun activity was when we had to pass a marble through various pieces of pipe until the marble had gone through everyone’s pipe at least once. This activity required us to communicate with people we weren’t familiar with, and it allowed us to be able to work together easier. e were all separated into groups by the color of our wristband, and the teams were based on movie characters. We had the Wizards, the Tributes, the Avengers, the Dark Knights, and the Supermen. The Wizards, which was my team, won the spirit points contest for the whole conference! The points were kept on a board called the Box Office. The Greenhand Leadership Conference was great fun, and it’s sad that we only get to go once in our FFA career. But, we’re all looking forward to MFE now for more fun! W A Chapter Comes Together to Lead Submitted By from the chapter of Michael Guerra Righetti
