Friendship Force Northeast USA Conference a Great Success!
Wow! What fun we had at the Northeast USA Friendship Force conference. I arrived in Windsor, Conneticut on Friday afternoon to a warm welcome by members from 6 friendship force clubs: Connecticut, Southern Connecticut, Greater Binghamton, Southeast New York State, Long Island and New Hampshire Seacoast.
The weekend began with a club president round table discussion where ideas were shared and the work began. On Saturday, the conference was opened by a dynamic lecture on African history given by a local professor from Trinity College. The rest of the day was spent discussing current club and exchange issues as well as the future of Friendship Force.
Bruce Wazorko, NE Regional Field Rep, did a great job of organizing this and in the end all felt inspired to contiune the good work.
