Time to say good-bye!

Tonight I had a farewell meal for my 2007-2008 RA staff. Three of them graduated last year, but stayed in the area. The others will all graduate later this month. Most of them will be moving away at that point. Since everyone is going their separate ways, this will likely be the last time that all 8 of them will be together. We had a lovely meal and talked for almost 2 hours - sharing plans for the future, reminiscing about our year together, and just general chit chat. It was a lovely evening.

Back row - Bryce - the new Athletic Director at Florida Christian College, Ben - will be back in the fall while his wife does her student teaching and then he'll start in December as the Program Director at Mennohaven Retreat Center in IL, Rachel - doing MVS in San Francisco, and Taylor - travelling in Peru after grad and then back to IN to work in TV news.

Front row - Kaleem - entering the masters in Japanese studies at IU, Grace - working at MMN & getting married in July, Kat - entering med school in the fall, and Heather - still job hunting in the Indy area.

I am so proud of this wonderful group of young adults! It was a pleasure to be a part of their GC experience!
