WELCOME TO BOYS STATE LIVE 2009

Sunday Afternoon Update
It may be Sunday...but at Boys State the day is packed with activities. Election officials were selected last night after the assembly. They attended their training session this morning and prepared for this afternoon's City Elections. In the meantime, all others attended a session on Parliamentary Procedures. All Boys State meetings run under the rules of Parliamentary Procedures. Later each city held its caucus to determine the party ballot (Nationalist and Federalist) for city elections. And that was just the morning......

Coming to Boy's State I was at a loss for what to expect. Boy's State can be one of the most enriching, rewarding experiences in which you ever participate-or one of the most boring. I highly encourage you to get involved in the many opportunities offered here. Play sports, run for positions and have fun. If you do this, you will leave Boy's State having enjoyed yourself immensely.
