Greetings from J & Beck! As most of you know, we are spending the summer working here at Bethany College. Despite the lack of noise and chaos, there are still many exciting moments to be had during a Bethany summer. Some key elements: Gil Dueck’s obsessive fascination with the World Cup (word is he watches every single game, even those at 5:00am), working with our very strict and serious supervisors (Nick & Colin), traipsing across a muddy parking lot as a result of heavy construction and non-stop rain, fun carpools (including the time an unnamed person slept in and made 8 people wait in Randy Klassen’s Astro), being led astray by the TomTom while in Edmonton for YC 2010, and many other adventures caused by the combination of Jaylin and Becky’s youngest child syndrome.
On a more serious note, it’s been great hanging out at the school and getting to know the staff better. We are seeing how hard the staff work to make this college an awesome place, and we really appreciate it! It’s great to be on the inside track with everything that’s happening at Bethany. Our 2010 first year count is up to 61 so far. This is very exciting, as first year enrollment is the highest it has been since 2006!
Jaylin has been busy preparing for Sports Camps, which begin on July 5th. We have lots of registrations and are looking forward to having the school alive with activity again. The staff coming out make up a great team and we’re pumped to have some Bethany Alumni involved. Becky has been doing lots of administrative work and has arranged camp visits to Redberry, Ranger Lake, and Dallas Valley. She is looking forward to building relationships with potential students and reconnecting with some of you! Our summer at Bethany has been full of laughs, learning and, of course, work. We hope you are all having a terrific summer as well!
The early games were at 5:30, not 5:00. So much for an "obsessive fascination." Go Spain?
