Leadership Event - October 30, 2008
SAC teamed up for a leadership event October 30, starting with dinner at Bar Louie's. Dinner was followed by the haunting experience of St. Lucifer's Haunted House, which started in a elevator much like those at Kettering. It bounced up and down several times before letting us out. The good news is that every made it through and the event successful as 10 people actually joined together as 1 (literally) in order to find our way out of the two-story maze. The bad news is we are not very brave in the dark!
