Quick Updates from Rivers 4.0

Hello Family and Greetings from Wichita!

I hope everyone is well! Since I do such a poor job touching base with everyone, I thought I would just send a quick update on the latest happenings for Rivers 4.0. October will be very busy for Ashley and I with various trips, projects and events taking place. Homecoming week at Friends University will be taking place from October 14 – 19, which will certainly keep Ashley busy! And the Grand Opening for the Kansas Leadership Center (our sister organization) will be taking place on the 14^th so things have been very hectic around both the Foundation and the Center in preparation for that event.

Also of note, Ashley will be travelling for work to two meetings in the next two weeks. The first will be in Tulsa, Oklahoma for the National Association for Campus Activities (NACA) Central Region Conference. She’ll be down there from October 3^rd – 6^th. And then after a short day-long respite, head east to St. Louis, Missouri to attend an International Student Arrival and Orientation Institute. I will be heading to Chapel Hill, North Carolina from October 24^th – 26^th for a special training in countering tobacco sale marketing and promotion in retail environments.

Other than that life continues to go well and we very much enjoy any downtime we can scrape up! We are loving our new home and learning more and more about each other! What all is happening in everyone else’s neck of the woods?

One final thought, I know it is still a ways off, but is there anything that needs to be done in preparation for Thanksgiving? Reservations or deposit funds needed or anything like that? Just want to make sure we plan accordingly J We are super excited to see everyone!  Any who, hope all is well!

Love you all!

Jonathan & Ashley
