New Member: Good News! A prospective new member, Jim Gregg, who attended last weekÕs meeting has applied for membership in SRC and the Board will consider the application on April10th.

 

Just in case you missed WardÕs recent e-mail:  The Annual D7150 Literacy golf tournament will soon be upon us ..... and ..... This year it is in our back yard at the Lake View Golf and Country Club in Auburn on Friday, June 6, 2008.

 

The D7150 Literacy committee receives no financial support from district funds; all of the dollars to support their Adult Literacy Awareness programs, the C.A.A.R. (Community Assisted Adult Reader) matching funds, other programs come from the proceeds of the fun event.

 

Put together a foursome and dust off the ole golf clubs and sign up and/or support the event through the "Additional Support Opportunities" shown on the registration form attached to WardÕs e-mail of 4/2/08.
