Wendella Cruises the River and the Lake
Our activities director, Tom Duracka, is a part-time employee of Wendella River Cruises. He has arranged for Veterans Voices Military Group to take two river cruises with Wendella. The first was an architectural/historical tour. The second was a night cruise out onto Lake Michigan for the summer fireworks display. Both events were well attended and enjoyed by all. Thank you, Tom, for your efforts.
Our night time cruise onto Lake Michigan for the fireworks display. What a beautiful event!
