UP WHERE WE BELONG LEADERSHIP RETREAT Tomorrow ' s leaders pause momentarily to sa- vor the events of the past few days. You put your left foot in, you put your left foot out. You put your left foot in and you shake it all about. You do the hokey- pokey and you turn yourself around. THAT ' S WHAT IT ' S ALL ABOUT! (Clap!) (Clap!) . Well, that wasn ' t what all of it was about but it was a start. What was IT? IT was the 1985 Annual Leadership Development Retreat at Blow- ing Rock Assembly Grounds. IT was a week-end retreat that included members from almost every campus organization, various members of the staff, some facul- ty members and anyone else who was interested in leadership. IT all started when a group of seventy-two members of the Lenoir-Rhyne commnlty gathered in front of the Cromer Center on a cool Friday afternoon to take a trip up the mountain. For many, IT was something mysterious and unknown. For those of us who were veterans of the 1st or 2nd Annu- al Retreat, IT was a continuation of what has become one of the best experiences It looks as though more than one cuckoo flew over this nest as students present their skits. Surrounded by LR ' s finest, Nick, the leader for the weekend, enjoys his final hours. of our college career. What did we learn? We learned how to understand and handle various problems that arise In organizations. We learned how to listen and to communicate better We learned how to get more in touch with ourselves and each other. We learned that first impressions aren ' t al- ways right; that each of us is a unique and special person. In essence, we learned how to be better people as well as better leaders. What did we do? We went on hikes, we sat in front of the fireplace, we rolled the staff members ' cars with toilet tissue, we sang to the stars, we stayed up until 4.00 am writing Happy Grams to ecah other that said I love you , we enjoyed the view, we made new friendships, and strengthened old. We came away from the mountain de- termined to make the Lenoir-Rhyne com- munity a better place to live, work, and love. For those of us who attended this retreat IT has become a BEAR NECESSITY!
