JOINT BASE ANDREWS, Md. –

Joint Base Andrews chaplains, along with the JBA Dorm Council, hosted a monthly dorm dinner here July 26, 2018.

The get-together allowed dorm residents to eat, play team-building games and get to know each other and the 11th Wing leadership.

“My favorite part is actually getting these Airmen out of the dorms and interacting with each other,” said Airman 1st Class Megan Eddy, Dorm Council president. “It’s always nice seeing people making friends and the camaraderie that comes out of it.”

Attendees of the dorm dinner had the opportunity to play a cornhole tournament with the top three teams winning prizes.
