2024-02: VOA Banquet

Huge thank you to everyone from C2319 who came out to the VOA Banquet this past Sunday. It was great to show our support to the VOA as well as our fellow crew members. Nice job to the VOA Officers (Especially Michael, VOA President a& Maggie, VOA VP Communications) on a really fun and engaging night! Make sure you congratulate Maggie next time you see her on receiving a Council VOA Award recognizing her dedication to Venturing & willingness to go above and beyond. Congrats Maggie!
 
We also took advantage of the opportunity to present to of our own Crew 2319 specific recognitions, the Crew Golden Eggs! This is a new recognition we are starting internally in C2319 as a way of recognizing our own members who never say now, who help push our crew to new heights, and overall just do amazing work. Our inaugural recipients were Michael & Maggie, congrats again!!

Everyone seemed to have a great time at Crew Casino Night! Fun, games, movies, pizza and more. It was a long night, but we did eventually wind our way down to a top three players who were presented our stupendous awards! Just be sure to read that disclosure carefully!
 
**And yes, we didn’t actual gamble, it was all just for fun**

2023-12: Bladesmithing

Our Bladesmithing Day at The Forge was a huge success!! It was so much fun and we learned tons. Our instructor Bob Laskowski was amazing. He gave great & clear demos, was fun to talk to, helped fix our issues, & made sure everyone left at the end of the day with a knife. 10/10 would recommend and will definitely be back. The pics here are just the tip of the iceberg, see the rest and some videos at: https://photos.app.goo.gl/jEx3XPP3vhdX4gjE6

2023-10: Axe Throwing

It may have been a last minute adjustment, but we had an awesome day throwing axes! After a few warm up throws, we split into to some… interesting teams including First to Raise Their Hands v. Others and then Waldrops + Max v. Everyone Else for a few competitive rounds. We even had a few duels with to determine the best Waldrop, the most Holden Holden, the most accurate Maggie, and of course, the ultimate sasquatch. And of course, we spent a good amount of time discussing the merits of sandwich press technology. Overall, it was a pretty great afternoon!

Hope to see everyone at the VOA Cookoff next Sunday, you can come and cheer on our teams even if you aren’t cooking on a team yourself!
