Welcome to our new Facilities Superintendent
Paul Saliva. 
Paul started with us on June 24th as our Facilities Superintendent. He is experienced in construction and industrial refrigeration and is a Master Carpenter as well.Paul was born in Tampa and although he has lived other places, he always returns to his roots. He is the father of 3 and has 3 grandchildren. In his spare time he enjoys hunting and fishing.

Oh, the Places You’ll Go! 
Share Your Vacay Pix with us, please.Rev. John Hougen enjoyed fishing (let us say successful fishing!) with his Dad and two sons on his recent vacation over Father’s Day.  They are clearly NOT in Tampa Bay, the Keys or the Bahamas, but up in the northern climes (Lake of the Woods, Ontario!) as you can tell from the jackets! Looks like John pulled in a walleye, and a nice muskie was landed by his son, John.Send Lynda Waters one of your vacation photos! We’d love to see where your travels have taken you!
