Each year, BUSF gets some AMAZING new members who are excited and all around great people. To welcome them and get the old members together, we have a fall retreat. This year was the best fall retreat yet! As we walked down to the Butler campus farm, we noticed people sitting around a bonfire on haystacks. Getting closer, we noticed pumpkins piled up off to the side as well as something that makes every college event successful: food.<\/p>\n

We sat around eating hotdogs, chips and s’mores and were able to catch up and hear about everyone’s summers and semesters so far. After a few minutes into it, the coordinators announced that we would find out our BUSF family that night! Each BUSF member has a mentor that gives advice and helps welcome them into the organization. Those new members will then receive a mentee the following year.<\/p>\n

Some fabulous BUSF members<\/p><\/div>\n

To conclude the retreat, all the families were given pumpkins to carve. Wanting to have the most creative and …interesting pumpkin, Ashlynn, my new son Aaron and I decided to create an intricate design complete with a full story-line. We recruited Steph’s and her family to help out and let’s just say if there had been a pumpkin contest, we would have won.<\/p>\n

Overall it was a wonderful retreat and I’m so glad I was able to reunite with such a great and energetic group of people!<\/p>\n

BUSF love to everyone who helped with fall retreat, it was GREAT!<\/p>\n
