What a great week to start off the 2009 Outfly Season. We are very appreciative of the generous financial support that Thrivent Financial for Lutherans has provided once again this year by sponsoring Outflys. Our new president, Dr. Darrell Colson flew up from Louisiana to spend the week getting to meet many alumni, parents, and friends of Wartburg.
We kicked off the season on Monday, June 22, with an Outfly at the Clear Lake State Park Lodge. We had a great view of the lake and were in a great facility there that kept us as cool as possible for a day in the '90s. Everyone thought it was pretty warm outside of the shelter except for Pres. Colson.
Tim '96 & Carol '96 Kentopp Dettmer celebrated their 13th wedding anniversary by hosting the Outfly.
Something new we are doing this year at each Outfly is to capture Wartburg memories, stories, testimonials, etc. from alumni on video. Here is a video by the Outfly hosts, Tim and Carol Dettmer.
There were also some future Knights in attendance...
The rest of the videos from the evening will be uploaded onto the WartburgAlumni YouTube channel which you can see here. Or you can see a sampling by clicking on the videos on the right side of the blog. You can also find pictures from the whole first week of Outflys in the photos area at the top right. For those of you who joined us, we hope you had as much fun as we did. We hope the rest of you will join us for one of the many Outflys that remain this summer. You can see the full list and register to attend here - http://www.wartburg.edu/alumni/outfly.html.
Hope your having a great summer and Be Orange!
