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?
