reflections
Must have active and present Rotex.
Must have all Country Officers in attendance.
Name tags for all.
Honest session with Rebounds only
Turned into group therapy with lots of complaining; next time alternate between good and bad stories
more reflections
Formal graduation ceremony important to parents.
Overnight crucial for bonding between Rotex and Rebounds.
Do nothing but eat on Sunday morning....too tired.
