Day 1: On The Road Again

Day 1 of Project Recharge 5770 began with the חברה leaving via multiple cars from multiple locations. Each driver was given a list of destinations with no names of who would be found there. Each group was also given a final destination in Vermont with a time they needed to be there. The Hertzberg/Popowitz/Kirschner clan arrived first at the Newfane Elementary School where they were greeted by 'the Principles'. Arriving a short time after that was "The Beast" with its illustrious driver Milgraum with Kaye, Friedman, Brooks, Leor, and Mutty with שופר and other musical instruments in tow. Rounding Recahrge Part II was the Ackerman, Kirsch, Dylan, Rafi mobile. As per Recharge was kicked off with a sport... SOFTBALL! 

 

 
 

After multiple games were played and Rav Dan taking out the fence in center field, we headed over to what would be our dwelling place for the remainder of the trip. Once everyone had claimed a room a BBQ dinner was prepared. 

 

Then it was off to the night activity - the naming and welcoming of our newest members. Each member was given a name and required to perform a specific ritual as a way of initiation into the brotherhood. Overall it was a great day and a great way to kick off Recharge. I'm off to sleep, till next time holy חברה...
