At Mission Trail
Shopping of Course
During this years Annual Meeting of the Members (AMM), while the USAWOA members were in meetings the spouses took several tours. One of the tours was of a local mission. Another very interesting tour was a tour of a local brewery. Other spouses enjoyed lounging around the pool during the day while the spouses attended meetings.
