Greetings WHEW Family!!
A special thanks to all those who attended and participated in the 2011 WHEW Family Reunion Cruise! Needless to say we had a blast! There was plenty of fun, food and entertainment to keep you busy. Most of us could use a day off to catch up on our sleep . . . oh well maybe later.
If you have pictures you would like to upload to the family reunion album on this website - - please click on the photo album to share your cruise pics.
Below are some highlights from the reunion cruise . . .
Daris Gamble was honored as WHEW Family member of the year. Daris was recognized for his continued love and dedication to the WHEW family. This year Daris again, provided beautifully designed awards for our WHEW Elders, youth and family members who have contributed their time and effort to making our family shine. He also contributed tee shirts and hats sporting the WHEW crest on them. The tee shirts and hats were sold and the proceeds will be dontated to the WHEW Scholarship Fund. So far a total of $217 was collected for the sale of these items. Congratulations Daris for leading by example.
