Eagle Scout dinner

Last Saturday evening, Bethel 11 held a chicken cordon bleu fundraiser dinner. About three dozen people enjoyed the dinner.
At Tuesday night's regular meeting, Bethel 11 was pleased to welcome Miss Wisconsin Job's Daughter, who was visiting family in Bend. 

Last night the Bethel helped with our Lodge's annual Eagle Scout dinner, which honors all the Boy Scouts in our area who achieved the rank of Eagle during the year.

Boy Scout Hikes

 
Last month, Bryan and I hiked up Alder Creek north of Bend with some of his Boy Scout troop, to where it joins the Deschutes near Lake Billy Chinook.
This weekend, we hiked up the Metolius near Sisters.  
It was a backpacking trip.  We camped by the river, and then hiked back this morning.
