Closing Opening Retreat

The fifth class of Leadership Jefferson is getting ready to wrap up its Opening Retreat. Many thanks to the folks at FLOC, For Love Of Children, which has its Outdoor Education Center located in the extreme southern tip of Jefferson County. Todd McKinney, Rob Stull and crew were very hospitable -- but it's hard not to be when the setting is as beautiful as FLOC. LJ spent yesterday afternoon and night and this morning staying in the Lodge, exploring the high ropes course, and pondering leadership. The website for the organization where the class stayed is www.flocoutdoors.org. The crew of 26 new LJ participants ate well from various restaurants in the county, including Hannah's Train Depot BBQ in Harpers Ferry, Mediterranean Cafe in Charles Town, and Brother's Pizza in Charles Town. They went rafting with the fine folks at River and Trail Outfitters. It's fair to say that fun was had by all.
