Adventure WV Babies, Weddings, and Graduations! Congratulations!

There are a lot of people who deserve a "Congratulations!" for achieving some special life milestones recently!

Welcome to the world, Elsie Marie!

1) Adventure WV's Associate Director, Nathan Harlan, 

and his family just welcomed a new baby, Elsie Marie Harlan, 

into his family the morning of May 28th at 6am! 

Congratulations to the Harlans!

2) Two of our past Adventure WV Odyssey Leaders, Jenna Hardy and Glenn Jansen, got married two weekends ago, on May 24th! They met while leading for Adventure WV in 2010. Isn't that cute? Look at them back in the day:

          Odyssey Leaders from L to R: Jenna, Leeanne, Glenn, and Pat.  All of them look completely stylish in Tye Die. 

             

And here they are on The Big Day!
