From San Diego to Bray, Letter 4

SDAIHYC meets Hi Rez...FINALLY!

Thank you to Daiz and all the awesome Junior Leaders, Senior Leaders and youth members for your wonderful hospitality!  Some pictures from my day in/to Bray can be found on our Photobucket here.  Our youth members enjoyed the Feadóg, book of Celtic designs, and the green sour balls (we'll show you in the next video)!  We hope one or all of you can make it to San Diego soon!

Dancing for His Holiness the 14th Dalai Lama

The themes for discussion were upholding ethics, practicing forgiveness and tolerance and coping with the challenges of self centeredness in modern society.

2012 College Conference Tour: UCSD Triton Day

The College Conference Tour continued with a small contingent visit to UCSD for Triton Day, during which admitted and prospective students tour the campus to explore the variety of organizations, academic majors, venues and buildings are available at the university.  We were lucky to attend the Native American student community welcome hosted by the Native American Student Alliance, which was also attended by Chancellor Fox and other UCSD faculty & staff.  Pictures from the day can be seen on our Photobucket album here.

Traditional and college experience storytelling

We were blessed last Friday to have both Cathleen and her son Brandon here for American Indian Storytelling!  Along with traditional stories, Brandon played his flutes and his mandolin, a change of pace from what we're used to.  He also shared his experiences and provided Q&A for members regarding life as a college student living away from home.
