magine more than 50 teenage
girl volunteers from all over the
continent coming together to
make a difference. That's what hap-
pened Jan. 26; it was a new beginning
for the Friendship Circle, with its first
annual leadership conference.
As I walked into the hospitable
doors of the Friendship House on
the Friendship Circle campus in
West Bloomfield, I immediately felt
at home. Knowing only the select
volunteers from Michigan, I was at
first a little uneasy. But after register-
ing and grabbing bite to eat, I right
away felt connected to each and every
person in that room. Before that
weekend, I had already felt incredibly
linked to the organization itself. Not
knowing it was possible, I found the
Friendship Circle become an even
more important part of my life.
A new leadership club also
was introduced this weekend.
Nominations and voting were held by
the volunteers to create officers for
the club, and I was given the honor
of becoming vice president. This
club is now a network, a way to share
creative and new ideas to further help
children with special needs nationally
