During this years Annual Meeting of the Members
(AMM), while the USAWOA members were in meetings the spouses took
several tours. One of the tours was of a local mission. Another very
interesting tour was a tour of a local brewery. Other
spouses enjoyed lounging around the pool during the day while the
spouses attended meetings.
