Last evening, we convened for our annual inspection dinner, gathering together with our spouses and significant others who silently support and encourage us to respond to every call.

We are immensely grateful and fortunate to have her dedicated service. Additionally, we extend our sincere appreciation to Bumblebee BBQ for providing us with a most enjoyable and delicious meal.
