HERE ARE COMMENTS made by a few attendees at the June conferences. “Thank you for giving me the amazing opportunity to attend the Youth Leadership Conference aboard the Lexington. Your sacrifice has sprouted growth in me not just in leadership, but in many facets of my life. In the short five days, I was able to grow more as a student, leader, follower, teammate and much more than I ever would through normal schooling. Thank you for providing me with an experience that will resonate with me for a long time to come.” (from Daniel D.) Partial quotes from others: “I was enriched and really cherished every second of this conference. I got to learn new skills and meet new people that have changed my life for the better.” (from Vanessa M.) “I was able to learn new styles of leadership, and how to get out of my comfort zone. I was able to do things I never thought possible. Thank you a thousand times over.” (from Cadet Captain R.) “Thank you for funding my leadership journey. In the beginning, speaking to strangers was a difficulty. After my experience here, I now have the necessary skills to lead a group to success. This learning experience has forever changed my life. I will now lead my generation to a better future.” (from Fisher C.) DEL MAR 1350 HAS LOST TRACK OF A MEMBER. He is Alberto Castro, 5838 Leopard St, Corpus Christi, TX 78408. Is anyone in touch with him, or aware of his situation? For Del Mar: have you called Grand Lodge to see what they have on him? Have you done an obituary search?
