Hershey Highlights
Well the team has had a wonderful time in Hershey PA at the 7500 Rotary Conference. The team lived up to the Aussie way of partying hard and getting acquainted with the American amber liquid. We also had a few up days (I don't envy my pallbearer). The team would like to thank all our new friends that we met and we enjoyed the time getting to know everybody at the conference. PS we also learnt about shagging in North Carolina ( Its a dance)

Four score and several hours ago the GSE team visited Gettysburg the most famous battleground and turning point of the American Civil War. The town is amazing and we were treated to a superb bus tour all around the town and and fields of battle. It was a truly historical and humble experience.

The Snozzberries taste like Snozzberries
Oompa loompa doopadoo Well the team had a great trip to Hershey's Chocolate World and we didnt need a golden ticket to get in either, we saw how all the chocolate is made and we had fun on the little Chococoaster (There's no earthly way of knowing, Which direction we are going Is it raining? Is it snowing? Is a hurricane a-blowing?) sorry an obscure Willy Wonka reference there.
A Hershey Welcome
