Show M Families get away from daily pressures to strengthen relationships S Dec. 6, 2012 7 BE A COUPLE TIME2 AGAIN BY M !KAYLA BEYER Hilltop Times staff T aking a weekend away from the demands of daily life can be difficult for the couples of Hill AFB, but the Air Expeditionary Retreat on resiliency provides an opportunity for them to have a good time and get advice about how to make a family work amid the stresses of Air Force life. "We don't want it to be what I call 'death by PowerPoint,' where people just sort of sit around and listen to these lectures. We wanted it to be a good time for everyone, and draw them in," said Tech. Sgt. Glenn Jajliardo, NCOIC for the event. Chaplain (Capt.) Lucas Dalgleish served as the officer in charge. The weekend took place at Wolf Creek's Pineview Lodge in scenic Eden, where each family stayed in their own room while the events were held in the reception area and restaurant nearby, Harley and Bucks. The first day began with sign-in and group orientation with the kids present. The chaplains presiding over the event gave everyone an idea of what to expect for the next few days, where the kids could be dropped off when adult-only activities were happening, and where to get information about how to navigate around Eden. "We're looking forward to this retreat, and we're pretty confident it's going to be the best one ever. There is more fun time than there is session time, and we hope you're aware of that," Chaplain Rick See RETREAT Ipage 9 I it:ALM Arnim 11111111Mill MIKAYLA BEYER/Hilltop Times Couples take time to get to know each other again at the Air Expeditionary Force Retreat on resiliency held at Wolf Creek Resort on Dec. 1. 11-.1.1 'Tis the season to be healthy Civilian Health Personnel Services I Above, Mckensie Boise (right), from Blue Cross BLue Shield, explains benefits to Frank Madrigal (center), Ogden Air Logistics Complex Building 225, and Mrs. Mitch Collie at the Health Fair on Dec. 4.
