Traveling family - 2

For the first semester his junior year Dane went down under. Going to school in Australia

from August to January. Tom Cheryl and Danya had to get down there to visit. 

Meeting Dane at the airport.

And off they went into the outback, back to the zoo, throwing some shrimp on the BBQ and checking out the local wildlife. Checking out the great beaches too. 

Ok, looks like lamb chops and shrimp.

 Making memories

 Now they can cross another country off the list.

38th Jurisdictional Convention

For the past two years Mike has been the president of the 38th Omaha Woodmen Jurisdictional Convention that includes California, Nevada and Hawaii. It was held this month and hosted in Ontario. Each convention does a city project, his project was the USO at the Ontario Airport. The donation included a 46" flat screen TV and wall mount, a pile of video games, 24 patio chairs and a Costco gift card for food supply's. This donation gives our service guys a place to relax between assignments.

Every one had a great time and said Mike did a good job with a very stressful position  Now that its over,his next event in this capacity is the National Convention being held in Florida this July.

 Jamie had multiple gatherings to celebrate turning 40 this year. His biggest life changing gift is coming in June.

Ryan's friends got him a cake that could hardly hold all the candles they put on it.
