Bill, the orientation package is a good start for brand new leaders. Some groups have passed them out as info packages to new leaders within the group. They were received well. I guess the workshops/sessions could use them as a base introduction. I'm sure some basic objectives were met, too. Regardless of where the info comes from, the credit can be tallied on the leader training record sheets under the appropriate objective. Good start after a night to get several "ticks" in the boxes.
