DICK’S OPEN:

John announced that it starts today. If you working the morning shift, you want to get there around 9:30 AM and between 1:00 and 1:30 PM if you are working the afternoon shift. Our headquarters is at the 16th tee. We will be selling wine, beer, soda, and hot dogs. You need to register at the volunteer entrance. Your name will be there. You can stay for the whole day if you want and watch golf. The golf will end between 4:00 and 5:00 PM. There are concerts on Friday and Saturday nights.

PROGRAMS:

Next week we will get to hear from the RYLA students about their experiences. The following week Mike Slavetskas will tell us about stem cell transplants.
