Hey, Grandkids – I decided to do this Blog on the subject of leadership. Just to get you thinking about your leadership roles in school today and on a larger platform in the future – See, you and your friends will be the future leaders of our industries, our religious organizations, and our country. …….
Sure hope you do a good job – cause I am retired. Leaders always get to be in the media – so I thought I would play around with some recent news stories about our leaders – just for fun.
I wanted to follow the lead of our leader – President Obama – and take a selfie to show you how I was dressed – wearing my Canadian toque and with palm trees in the background — But obviously there are things I did not learn from the President — like watch out for the sun shining into the lens. But I did learn to not show Michelle in the background with an angry look on her face!
Now, here, with this shot – while on my bike ride on the Nature Trail – I wanted to take a lead from Governor Christie – You see my bike kinda blocks the bridge and you may see several golf carts waiting to cross – not a mean word was spoken — only laughs when I told them I took the photo to put on my Bog – Just for the Grandkids that live in New Jersey! See there is much to learn from our leaders — Learn some things to do and learn some things not to do.
I have been very busy lately – taking our Photo Club to a new level – doing it all by just organizing and helping others be the best leaders they can – They are a team of leaders and are really moving!!!!
It now cost $20 per year to be a member and on our first day we had 21 become paying members – for our little informal photo group – that was great! In addition, we have our first SPECIAL PROJECT – we have been commissioned to photograph the golf course – preparing photos that the course management can use in a national promotion campaign of the course on the internet. Our commission involves no money – but we will all learn a lot from our Senior Photographer member who will lead the project
Here is the status of our Photo club:
