Theme Ideas - Fishing Derby
Thanks to Deb Witmer for this brainstorm. I have a rather oddball idea for another year's conference - ready? Hold a fish/ing derby. Fish/ing is such a great **metaphor for learning** - from the biblical fishers of men to teaching a person to fish in order to help them feed themselves. Fishing is **always a learning process** - how to cast, what bait, lures to use, (technology) understanding what fish are eating at the time and what time of day you can gain their attention etc etc. And Fish are fun!!! And everyone loves **fish tales!!!** (at the end of the day people can tell their fish stories about the BIG ones they caught - or the learning that they did) Oh and did I mention **fish are tasty**????? We could see if **Bob Izumi** would come and be a speaker..... Now you are going to think I am a big fishing fanatic and I'm not I just think it has lots of potential. *(but it is not related to the FISH philiosphy that RVH uses) thanks Deb
 * There are all types of fish** - We have fish that roam in schools, and fish that are very much loners. We have fish who work in packs in order to hunt etc. We have fish that are bright and beautiful and fish that are well camouflaged.
