Affair on the Square Music by Dakkota (09/13/2007)

          
This was a great night for everyone. More than 600 people enjoyed the performance by Dakkota. They stopped by our booth for photos and to sign items for our annual scholarship auction. I also caught Frank eating
up the profits. This is getting to be a habit at every event. By the way, look at those happy faces on the cooking staff. Smile ya'll.

Group Study Exchange
The Group Study Exchange team from the Philippine Islands presented a program of
information about themselves, their home Country and their passions. They sang and danced as well as part of their cultural exchange. Great program folks, thanks. From here they are off to the District Conference in Hampton, VA to share a cultural program and then they will visit some 14 other clubs in District 7600 over the next three weeks. These folks are courteous, excited to be here and are a great deal of fun. Our District is enjoying a real treat.
