Pilot/Anchor International Convention

Mom & I just got back from a 5 day trip to Louisville, KY. We took immediate past Governor Stacey Chapman, Outgoing Anchor President Kali Moore, Ingoing Anchor President Lindsay Ward, Arissa Belk, Hunter Powell, & Mabry Wilkinson. While mom, Stacey, & I attended Pilot meetings the kids went to Anchor meetings. As soon as the meetings were over we took off to explore. We made it to Joe's Crab Shack - where we ate wonderful food and embarrassed Kali & Lindsay by telling them it was their birthdays...great place to do that to someone- we went to the Old Spaghetti Factory, saw Colonel Sanders (KFC man), and saw how they make bats for the big league. We stayed at the Galt House where we were treated like royalty. The Anchors did leadership activities, painted canvases for a hospital, heard motivational speaker Vickie Clark, and learned from Sean Carter first hand how drinking and driving can change your life forever. Sean has a TBI (Traumatic Brain Injury) from an accident where he was riding with someone who had been drinking. He cannot speak or walk; however, uses his computer to communicate his story. It was inspiring and helped motivate the Pilots and Anchors both to do more for our focus of Brain Related Disorders, Injuries, and prevention of both! It was a great week and I had a good time with some great people!
