Karaoke – The Ultimate Community Builder
At ASAE09
It was a special event at a cool location.
-
Open to anyone.
-
Hosted by myself and Sharon Kneebone.
-
(We do this at every ASAE annual meeting.)
This year - Karaoke!
-
Sharon is an amazing singer.
-
Let’s just call me enthusiastic.
-
Plus it’s a ton of fun.
We decided to hold it opening night.
-
After the formal reception.
-
To give people a chance to reconnect.
-
And find new friends to hang with through the meeting.
To our delight 40+ people showed up.
-
Some sang.
-
Many danced.
-
Laughter for all.
I challenged my comfort zone that night.
-
Decided to channel Cher.
-
Sang “I Got You Babe” with a new friend.
-
(Felt more like a episode of Survivor!)
We are already brainstorming what to do at ASAE10.
Makes me think of chapter leaders…do you welcome unofficial community-building efforts around your chapter?
