Hafa Adai - Welcome!
Phil and I have been very fortunate to be given the opportunity to learn about a new culture and area of the world. We are so greatful for this gift and are looking forward to all the new adventures that lay ahead. I have started this blog to help document our experiences and explorations during out time on Guam. My goal is to make a weekly update to help us stay in touch with our family and friends and to share some of our thoughts and experiences that we encounter along the way.

Volunteering Is . . .

Rewarding!!

I am a part of a wonderful group of women called GNOSC (Guam Naval Officers Spouses Club). They hold a fundraiser twice a year to raise money which they donate to local organizations and charities on Island. This past weekend was the Asian Bazaar and Saturday was my day to volunteer. I spent the morning manning the money. What a great way to see all the good folks who came out to help make this event the success it was and thank them for their help.

Meanwhile, Phil was with a group of Eagle Scouts (Joe Cook and friends) who were doing a project in the local area building a much needed footbridge. It was a scorching hot day and the guys did a fantastic job working in the heat. I will let the pictures speak for themselves.

Joe Cook with the completed bridge! What a fantastic job guys!!
I am sure the folks in the area will be happy to use this.


GNOSC raised over six thousand dollars and helped 8 local organizations.

The Eagle Scouts built a bridge that will be used and appreciated by many.

If you have the opportunity to volunteer in your community,just do it! Its so rewarding to help others others in need!
