How many FISH can you fit into a house in Irvine? About 10.
From September 12 through the 14th, the directors and officers met for their second annual DO Retreat. Logistics director, Meaghan, and her family were kind enough to share their home as our meeting place. Our goal for those few days were not only to get the ball rolling for the upcoming year of FISH but to also create strong bonds within the leadership team.
What can 10 people do in three days other than make quesadillas and distract one another? Surprisingly, a lot. We woke up each morning at 8 to begin the first 5-hour FISH block of the day and went to sleep around 11 after our second FISH block. Many times we continued throwing out ideas well after our designated blocks. There was no topic left uncovered- we discussed everything from dues and recruitment to alumni networks and social events. Most importantly, though, we tried to figure out how we can improve our trips to Maclovio.
We have plenty of things to share with the members at our first general meeting. Some of the highlights: Big Fish Little Fish, Children of the Night, health education research, Friends of FISH, USC and UCSD chapter joint trips. Every member should get excited for a fantastic new year with the Fellowship for International Service and Health.
When we weren't talking about FISH, the DO's did manage to have some fun. We made it over to Newport beach for an afternoon, attempted to cook (but really just watched Bryant do most of the work), staged a hilarious photo-shoot, and watched Finding Nemo.
Can't wait for the new year to start!
