Tune in this Week for the June 2nd Program:

 

AOur Northern Neighbors@

Our featured speaker will be 

The Right Honourable A. Kim Campbell 

Ms. Campbell served as Canada’s 19th and first female Prime Minister. She has had to maintain a reputation as a tough politician. But a tal­ented entertainer lurks behind the combative exterior. She has musi­cal talent, and in law school she wrote, produced, and performed in satire and skits lampooning the le­gal and political establishment. Ms. Campbell is currently Consul General of Canada in Los Angeles where she brings a Canadian per­spective on world is­sues. Her term expires in September 2000.

Good morning, Americans! You know what the news is. Now you’re going to hear the REST of the story!!! And now for what it’s worth...

Governor Jones presented a district award to Shirley Dowling for dedication to furthering the cause of literacy. And Assistant Governor Sturm ac­knowledged Philip Tirone’s work in the district for membership.

In our own version of ATruth and/or Consequences,@ President Jack called on Dr. Rick Kennedy, to the tune of $200, to report on George Ishizuka. Thanks for keeping us up to date. Bob Klein paid $150. Then Jack thanked Spyros Dellaportas for providing the baklava for the District Conference. Apparently, he took 2 of the German exchange students with him. Question: Who understood whom in that car?? Monty McCormick was recognized for going along for the ride with Spyros. As interpreter? Con Oyler was identified in the line-up as the one who was on Barbara Hopper’s bed on Friday evening at the conference. For that, Con paid no penaltyCunlike the divorces he handles... 

Michael O’Hara presented a $1500 check to the Wellness Community which will purchase 232 books for their partici­pants. And Dick Lawrence presented a $350 check to K.I.C.K. for uniforms for the karate kids.
