While in Colorado, officers planned the chapter’s program of activities for the upcoming school year, worked on leadership and teamwork skills, developed goals and a chapter statement, and practiced parliamentary procedure.

There was also time set aside for recreational activities, including a half-day rafting trip down the Arkansas River through Brown’s Canyon near Buena Vista.
