The Board of Regents, Alumni & I are excited to host you for this weekend's opening retreat!
Here's what you need to know for this weekend's retreat:
Date: Friday, October 1 & Saturday, October 2
Time: Arrive promptly at 7:45am Friday Breakfast will be provided in the Camp Challenge Dining Hall. Your retreat will be completed around 11am on Saturday.
Location: Camp Challenge Dining Hall -31600 Camp Challenge Rd, Sorrento (Coming from the west on SR 46, about 1 mile past the intersection of CR 435, Camp Challenge will be on your right coming from the west. There is a sign pointing to Camp Challenge just before the road you turn onto. Once on the camp road, take your first left and make your way to the parking area near the dining hall.)
Attendance: There is no leaving the property from Friday morning until Saturday morning when class ends.
NO Smoking: There is no smoking permitted on Camp Challenge property. It's bad for you anyway.
Meals: You will be provided with breakfast, lunch and dinner on Friday and breakfast on Saturday. If you have special dietary needs, you are welcome to bring any food or drink. We do have large walk-in coolers in the dining hall so you can put your food in there. If you know how to make large pots of coffee, please come a little early Friday morning. I'll be arriving at 7am. I have no coffee skills. If I have to make it, you get what you get!!!
Dress: Summer casual for SimSoc during the day Friday. You will be inside and outside & it’s still HOT so wear cool clothes and comfortable shoes, no heals please. (Shorts are fine as long as they are not your grubby yard work shorts!) After SimSoc, you will be given your Class of 2022 shirt to change into for the evening's festivities with the alumni. You will also wear your new shirt Saturday morning. We will be taking your class photos between SimSoc and dinner.
SimSoc: The SIMSOC activity provides participants with a new understanding of the complex dynamics taking place in our community. Enjoy this learning experience! Don’t take it personally, but DO take its lessons with you. Except for breaks designated by your facilitators, you are not permitted to leave your team's area. On the break prior to lunch, you CANNOT enter the dining hall until escorted in by an alumni! You must read pages 1-32 prior to Friday and BRING YOUR BOOK WITH YOU! And no, you don't need to bring any money for this weekend.
Alumni/Class Evening Festivities: The Class of 2020 will be your hosts for dinner and an evening packed full of fun activities! They have asked that you bring “Active Wear” which means sneakers & shorts for some of the events. I would also bring a T-shirt or other comfortable shirt in case you need to change out of your Leadership shirt. We don’t want you to ruin it on your first day! Again, there is no need to bring dressy clothes or heals.
For the overnight: The camp provides a twin bed with a mattress. You will need to bring your bed linens or sleeping bag and a pillow plus your usual overnight personal items, including a towel for the showers. Ear plugs and personal fans are also a good idea! We will have some large box fans to help move the A/C around as well. When you arrive on Friday morning, bring all your stuff into the dining hall so nothing melts in your car during the day!
Name Tag: Wear your name tag during the entire retreat. (OK, you can take it off in the shower and bed, but that's it!)
Health & Safety: Leadership Lake is not requiring you to wear a mask, you should do s at your own discretion. If you feel ill at any time during the retreat, please notify me immediately and remove yourself from your group.
Any questions, just ask! See you all Friday at 7:45am!
Thank you for joining Leadership Lake County, an independent 501(c)3 leadership program established in 1990 and dedicated to the development of Lake County and its community leaders. Our goal is provide a forum for participants to increase their awareness and commitment to the development of the Lake County community. The program provides a greater understanding of the complex social and economic issues that are shaping the future of Lake County and its residents. By raising the levels of awareness, knowledge, and active participation in the county as a whole, class members are better prepared to lead the county in the future.
Leadership Lake County requires a major time commitment from the participants, with full-day programs held once to twice a month for eight months

Welcome to Leadership Lake Class of 2022!
The time is finally here, your Leadership Lake experience is about to begin!
Date: Thursday, September 23, 2021
Time: 4pm - be prompt!
Location: Lakeside Lanes Meeting Room, 1950 Classique Lane, Tavares
Attire: Business casual
From 4pm to about 5pm, the Board of Regents and I will review our expectations for your class. You will receive your name badges which are to be worn for ALL Leadership Lake events along with your Simsoc book for the opening retreat on October 1&2.
You will be given instructions for preparing for the opening retreat however, you WILL NOT receive any information about Simsoc itself. You will receive a separate email closer to that event. In the rare event that you have participated in one before, please let me know. There is a strict Leadership rule all around the country, no one talks about Simsoc! Don't google it either!!!
Your class buddy will be assigned this evening as well. This is the person who will make sure you don't get left behind as we travel around the county. It cannot be someone you will be likely to ride to class with so if I accidentally assign it that way, please let me know ASAP so we can change that. It doesn't help if both of you are late in the same car!
After 5pm, the alumni will start arriving and we encourage you to mingle with them during the evening. We have set aside five lanes for the Class and alumni to bowl a few games as a Meet & Greet team building exercise. Lakeside Lanes is offering us $10/person for shoes & to bowl 3 games.
Leadership Lake will provide you each with a drink ticket for your first round. Iced tea, coffee and soda are already included. We will also have some appetizers available for you to snack on. The staff will check in with us during orientation and you can order something then if you like. Along with the bowling fun, Lakeside also has a nice bar so stay as long as you like!
If you are a vegetarian or have special dietary needs due to health issues, please let me know. (I do not mean that you don't like hamburger, I'm not a restaurant!) I will make every effort to accommodate you, but you may occasionally have to bring some food with you depending on our day.
Finally, since it seems I am having trouble getting my emails through to some of your servers, I will also post my emails here on your Class page.
