JrNYLC

We got a packet in the mail today that says Shane has been nominated to attend the Junior National Young Leaders Conference this summer in Washington, DC.  One of his middle school teachers nominated him for his scholastic achievements, maturity and character.  It sounds like a pretty neat opportunity but it seems to cost an arm a leg to get out there.  You have to pay your own way there and back, plus about $1840 for the conference itself.  The conference is a week long event in and around Washington, DC.  It includes some trips to surrounding landmarks and quite a bit of time in a conference setting where they spend sessions concentrating on a series of leadership traits and studying past oustanding leaders.

We’re proud he was nominated and that his teacher thinks he’s qualified for it.  Wish it didn’t cost so much…..still undecided on what to do.  We have to decide something by mid-April.

We would enjoy hearing from others that have attended the JrNYLC to hear their thoughts on if it was worthwhile.
