MESSAGES FROM THE DOWELLS
Central family, last January you honored Mean Jean and I for 25 years of service at Central. Many of you donated funds so we could take a special trip. We have decided to use those funds to do a 10-day pilgrimage in Spain on the Camino de Santiago this May. We will hike about 100 miles and conclude our journey at the Santiago de Compostela Cathedral in Northern Spain. We are excited about this experience and want to thank you for your generosity. We will keep notes on our pilgrimage and take plenty of photos so we can share about our trip when we return.
