Vegas was off the hook!

Earlier this afternoon we came back from an amazing weekend of service and fun with members of the Circle K of the University of Nevada, Las Vegas. Luckily we made the entire trip without any major car issues (Yay! My car made it this time! =D) and we didn't hit much traffic on the way up or back.

When we got to Vegas we were greeted with warm, open arms (and FRIED CHICKEN) by UNLV at the home of one of their AWESOME members, Joe (sp?). I'd like to personally note that the fried chicken was superb and kudos to the chefs Sky(sp?) and Kevin and to anyone else who helped out. We rounded out the rest of the night getting to know our Vegas counterparts a little better and playing board games all night long.

The following morning we woke up bright and early to head to a nearby park to do a cleanup for any trash left behind by patrons. ...unfortunate to say, but Las Vegas has some pretty well kept parks so there waaasn't much trash for us to pick up but we made do with what we had and made an impromptu social afterwards. Luckily we had a football and Frisbee to toss around and nearby a music and dance group was practicing their routine which was quite intriguing to say the least. =]

After all that was said and done, we went to a nearby Japanese restaurant for an eat for service which wasn't too bad if I say so myself (I'd recommend the udon! ;]). Following this was our Divisional Council Meeting led by our own Andrea Nguyen. We discussed important topics like the upcoming Fall Training Conference and our progress on goals made as a division for the year. Both UCR and UNLV will have 25 members heading up north November 7th-9th to represent and we plan to sweep any competition and show what it means to be a part of the best division in this district, DESERT OASIS! Haha, =]

Closing out the night was a "Strip Search" in which teams of UCR and UNLV members scoured the Vegas strip to find and take pictures of various landmarks based on clues given to them. To be honest, I'm not really sure who won but all involved seemed to have a good time enjoying the scenery and great company.

All in all, I just hope that everyone involved got the chance to meet someone new and had a chance to experience something they may not have normally had the opportunity to do. Be sure to look out for more district and divisional events to meet more Circle K'ers like yourselves!

Now time to catch up on some much needed sleep! ~_~;
