POINSETTIA SALE:

It is not too early to start thinking about your customers.

INTERACT:

Colin reported that they are participating in the CROP Walk. Many members made contributions. They are also investigating painting the Apalachin Library. And they are contributing to Heffer International, which will send an animal to a third world country for them.

PROGRAM:

Laura introduced Joao (who she told us sings quite well). He told us about his country, the capital (Brazilia which was developed in 1962), the flag and its symbolism, the national dances in different regions, how they use as much ethanol as gas, and how they do not import any gas. He did a wonderful job.
