Abroad

Gdynia, Poland

It used to be that one only had to be concerned about weather for air travel in the winter months. Not so! The last few years during our travel to Poland we have had major difficulties due to thunderstorms. This year, Sr. Angeline and Sr. Jan traveled to Warsaw Poland on July 12 only to miss flights due to, yes, thunderstorms in Detroit. To make a long story short, they arrived one day late in Gdynia Poland. Their return trip to Denver on August 9 was uneventful, thank God, but long.

Retreat and Training.

This year's Annual Follow-Up Leadership Formation was Scripture II held in Gdynia, July 15-26, 2005. Thirty nine people participated from Gdynia and six from Suwalki.

Scipture II Participants Hard At Work.

On a free day between the Formation Training and the Board of Directors meeting an outing was planned to Westerplatte in Gdansk and a BBQ.
