Precepts Put Into Practice at the 2017 Convention

Hats off to the Southern Region for hosting an outstanding convention in Savannah, GA July 11-14.

Without the help of each Southern Region Pond/Puddle we would not have been able to assemble a convention of great Blue Goose memories.

Our convention, while having some great fun, focused on our three precepts of Character, Charity & Fellowship.

The convention was filled with many firsts for Blue Goose. We were the first to have a convention app to highlight our agenda and attendees, along with sponsors. We were the first to have a charity activity start our convention and go through out the convention. We were the first to have a “First Timers” program.

Speaking of first timers….the South had over 24 “First Timers” in attendance. This is awesome and really demonstrated how the Southern Region is coming alive with enthusiasm for this great organization.

Here is an article summarizing Charity at the 111th Grand Nest Convention.

We hope more ganders will join us next year in Edmonton, Canada for the 112th convention.
