THE CHOICE IS RIGHT!

Cypress-Fairbanks ATPE didn't return with this year's title of Local Unit of the Year but we have returned with great information as we attended this year's Leader U
 "The Choice Is Right!"
  • The Opening General Session started off with a skit from the ATPE State Officers vs the State Staff.
    • It was a skit right out of the "FAMILY FUED" theme.
  • Friday, July 16 - General Session with Craig Zablocki (Lighten up and Laugh - For the Health of It)
    • His upcoming book ( Spontaneity 101) provides practical tools for lossening up, becoming more creative and living in the moment.
  • Awards Dinner was themed like you were taken away on a sunset Mexican "cruise."

2010 ATPE Cypress-Fairbanks Local  "Mexican Cruise"
The final day of Leader U and after the Local Unit Planning Time was the General Session.
  • Dr. Monte Selby: Creating a Best Day Ever.
    • using humor, interaction, a bit of research and his critically acclaimed original music to explore the importance of creating a vision for a "Best Day Ever."
CONGRATULATIONS CY-FAIR LOCAL FOR AN EXCELLENT 2010 AND CONTINUED PROFESSIONAL GROWTH!
