Sub Par Mini Golf was a lot of fun – with games including mini golf, a great variety of video games, billiards, and more. Since it’s a family friendly place, several members brought their families, including kids.  Even better, it was warm (unlike some of our previous years' choices, also fun but... brrrr...)!

We had a great time, celebrating another year of camaraderie, training, professional and personal growth, community service, and successful Search & Rescue (SAR) and Disaster Relief (DR) missions.

By coincidence, we also got to celebrate Lt Chavez’s birthday that same evening.  Happy birthday, Lt Chavez!

Happy birthday to Lt Chavez!

Thanks to everyone at squadron 188 for making ours a fantastic squadron to belong to, and to our members’ families for your ongoing support, without which our efforts would not be possible.
