I don't think it was possible to fit any more Circle K into my day today! After spending the morning in class at UNC I headed over to Duke to meet up with all of my committee chairs. The one benefit of them all being from Duke is that they are all super close, which means we can do business face to face! I was able to sit down with each committee chair and go over each committee's plans for the coming year.
I made a detour on my way back to UNC and dropped Minerva (LSSP chair and district Con-Con chair) off at the airport so she could head out to St. Louis and scope some sites for LSSP (Large Scale Service Project) this summer. After hitting tons of rush hour traffic I ended up with 10 minutes to pack for GATC (Governor's and Administrator's Training Conference) and change into formal business wear until I had to head out to NC State's Spring Banquet. Somehow I manage to get everything done and I was able to pick up Ruddy, UNC's club secretary, and Andrew, Triad LTG, right on time.
NC State's Spring Banquet was my first official Governor's visit!!! The potluck had great food, great people and overall it was just a great time. I had the opportunity to induct NC State's new officers, which was an amazing experience--with such talented leaders I can't wait to see what the club will do next year!
Now I feel obliged to fill you in on a little district drama...NC State stole UNC's mascot, Ramses, back at DCON. We then reciprocated and stole NC States mascot, Wolfie, and gave it to USC-Aiken, 4.5hrs away. At the banquet NC State revealed that they had gotten Wolfie back and left Ramses in their place. We did not go home emptied handed however. They gave us a "new" Ramses that is a sheep, not a ram. My club seems to find our "new" mascot much cuter than our old mascot (he's, rather she's fatter and softer) so who knows now if we'll ever get the real Ramses back!
After the banquet and dropping people back off at UNC I headed home to Mooresville so I could fly out of Charlotte in the morning for GATC. Such an exhausting, though awesome CKI day!

Jacqui! I love all of the pictures, I didn't even know you had a blog. haha This is really cool. Hopefully, you guys will get the real ramses back eventually. :)
