What Can't I take into Australia?

Many have asked questions about what you can, and can't, take into Australia. Here is a link to the Australian government's web site specifically designed to help travellers answer that question!

Very Important Message!

Our picnic Saturday has been moved!

Due to circumstances beyond our control, the location of our picnic/meeting Saturday has been changed. We will meet at Wapato Park, 6500 So Sheridan, Tacoma, WA. This park is located just east of I-5 at the 72nd St exit. Here is a link to the Tacoma Parks website for more information.

Everything else stays the same. We'll meet from 10:00 to 1:00, and still have our pot-luck.

I'm going to be calling everyone, but if I don't connect with you directly please e-mail me to let me know you've received this message. Here is my email address: charleshall@yahoo.com

Thank you, and sorry for any inconvenience.

Vegemite News

I just had to post this link to an article about a new Vegemite flavor.

Bon Voyage Picnic

As discussed our Bon Voyage Party will be on June 27th at Pt. Defiance's Owen Beach, from 10 a.m. to 1 p.m.

This will be a Potluck picnic. Delegates from all three delegations are being asked to bring dishes based upon their last name:
A-F, salads;
G-P, main dish;
R-Z, desserts.

There is no electricity available at the site so bring those coolers. We'll provide the paper plates and cutlery and you bring your beverages.

This is a great opportunity that blended delegations don't often get--to meet before travel. Often we meet at the final destination. Come with an open mind and that wonderful Ambassador spirit that you’ve already shown!

Not sure how to get there? Go to Google Maps and type in "5400 N Pearl St, Ruston, WA". That will get you to the entrance to the park; from there, just follow the signs to Owen Beach.

i-Pod chargers, part 2

From an email from a delegate's family:

"The Tacoma Costco still has the pocket chargers, they are on the same isle with the batteries. They are $10 off right now, so it was only $10 for two chargers. I think the sign said the sale was good until August something. We are keeping both of ours, but I wanted to let you know in case you wanted to pass the info along."

There you go!
