2008 Northwest YBL District Leadership Retreat
May 16-18, 2008
Place: Seattle Betsuin
Theme: YBA - Have It Your Way
Hosted by: Seattle Sr. YBA at UW
For more Info: Travis Suzaka

On behalf of the Sr. YBA at U.W., I would to invite your members to attend the 2008 N.W. District Spring Leadership Retreat.  This weekend-long event will consist of activities and challenges to help develop leadership skills that can be utilized in school, church, and future careers.  However, this retreat is open only to current High School Sophmores and Juniors.  The theme is "YBA: Have it your Way", similar to Burger King's slogan. We encourage each chapter to send around 2-5 participants, but we would like to keep the group size small.  If transportation costs are an issue, please let us know and we can make arrangements to help subsidize, since we would like every temple in the district to make an effort to be represented at this retreat. The dates are May 16-18, starting on Friday with opening service at 5:00pm and ending after our Gotan-e Sunday service.  Please let us know how many members from your chapter are interested in going by sending me an email at lilsushiboi@aol.com.  Please send me an email or call if you have any questions.  Thank You. 

In gassho,
Travis Suzaka
