It’s not news that appealing to the younger crowd can be a difficult task, but with equal parts education and time to relax/explore, a top notch venue, and affordable cost, we seem to have hit the “sweet spot” with GSAB. With the exception of rain, the weekend went very smoothly – all thanks to our staff, volunteers, and wonderful donors: First Magnitude Brewing Company, Jim Gissy, Flagship Coffee Roasters, Rainbow River Golf & Country Club, and Turnpike Mike’s Restaurant.
We’re still receiving photos and thank you notes from our students. What was it about this year that made it so special? Was it the students, the venue, the environment, or the cause? We think it was a mix of everything! We continue to feel inspired by all of the young, intelligent, and passionate minds that attended this year’s event. It was a weekend that will keep on giving. We look forward to next year!
In a nutshell, it doesn’t get any better than this. With these kinds of educational events, I see a brighter future for our springs. Hurray for FSI and all those that participated to make this happen.
