{welcome}toAUSTRALIAnight

A couple weeks ago a new DTS started. The first night the school leaders organized a "Welcome to Australia Night". For those of you who have been on the Sunny Coast, you know how awkward the "Welcome BBQ" normal is. Whitney & Mindy, the school leaders, were determined to overcome the uncomfortable & slightly dreadful "Welcome BBQ" with a new, nicer & integrating dinner.  We served the Lot Burgers-bun, burger, cheese, lettuce, tomato, pineapple, beet root(red beets sliced), shredded carrots, & egg with BBQ, tomato sauce & mustard. It was held at the YWAM base in the blue room, with Melissa Geltch sharing some history & culture of Australia. They finished with the nut bush dance (I think that's what it was called). I think we would all agree that this night was a hit and much more successful than the traditional welcome BBQs.

As servers we were told to dress Australia, this is Jeremy & Bryan's interpretation....
