|
|
|
 by Brenda Cronan and Laurie Sulflow
As I pull into the parking lot of
Park & Rec, I wonder, “What have I gotten myself into?” I have signed up for Leadership Lumpkin County, a community
leadership program. Somehow, I didn’t
dream that the first day of team building would actually be led by a Ropes
Course Expert! Well, too late now–I’m

|
|
by Tish Morgan and Bob Monroe
Day Five of our adventure as the Leadership Lumpkin Class of
2008 was billed as Community Resources

by Teresa Boulware
Day Six of our Leadership
Lumpkin County Class kicked off at 8:30 a.m. with a bus ride from the Lumpkin County High School

Leadership Council,
