Supreme Session Day 1

Yesterday, Jennifer flew to Wisconsin for Supreme Session. Since it was her birthday, as well as the birthday of one of Oregon's Past Associate Grand Guardians, upon arrival the Oregon delegation had a birthday party. The Supreme Guardian stopped by to say hi, and have her picture taken with the birthday celebrants.
Today she and other members of Oregon Job's Daughters explored the area around Madison.
In between events, Jennifer and the other girls enjoyed visiting in the lobby, and swimming in the pool.
Meanwhile Bryan spent the week at Camp Baldwin, a Boy Scout horse camp near Mount Hood.
