Warner Pacific College people: It was great to see so many of you at our WP alumni fall picnic last month!
As president of the WP Alumni Association, it warmed my heart
to see how many of you alumni showed up for a good time. Even though Portland’s rainy climate
persuaded us to move our fall picnic into CC Perry Gym this time, the picnic
proved once again to be an event that keeps growing in popularity each
year! And it’s easy to see why.
Reconnecting with former classmates and making new friends
is the main reason why many of us get together for WP alumni activities. But it didn’t hurt that our WP Alumni Council
also threw quite a party for us to enjoy together! Here are some of the festivities from that
evening, from an admittedly Hamilton family-centric perspective:
Bouncy houses
Balloon twisting by Cha-Cha the Clown
Beanbag throw and other games
Door prizes
Lively music
Delicious sides and food from the grill…

| Our newest Alumni Council member Cal Fowler, my terrific dad Doug Hamilton, and LaMont Shaindlin grill the hot dogs and burgers. |
…And chowing down on all that delicious food together!

From my Twitter feed: Alumni begin to show up at the beginning of the picnic.

Later that evening, the Portland fire department parked a fire truck in the lower WP campus parking lot. The little ones got to try their hands at
spraying the fire hose!
Even with our record setting picnic numbers this year, we hope to bring
in even more of you WP alumni and family to our fall picnic next year. And don't forget, Homecoming 2014 is only four months away!
Sincerely,
Garth Hamilton
WP Alumni Council President
Coming Sunday night on Garth’s Blog…
My brief, mini-visiting spree in Europe is coming to a
close. I’ll be posting Part 1 of the 3
(so far) blog posts that I wrote here in northern Italy!
