RED BADGES * If you haven't had the Fireside Chat, or if you need a make-up, come to Tom and Shanna's at 6:00 PM, May 22, 2001, and do give them a call at 247-1632 with your reservation.
GROUP STUDY EXCHANGE VISIT * The Israeli's will arrive May 26, will stay the 27th and 28th of May. District Governor Bill and Dorothy Tarpley will host POT LUCK at their home May 27th at 6:00 PM. Host families are John Beekman, John Marshall, and Bob Volger (back up). If you can also be a back up host, please call Tom.
