This morning, the Brail Tone College Club had its first meeting after
enjoying a summer break. Both public speaking and choir started and went off
without a hitch. Public speaking consisted of the members talking about what
they did during the summer, and impromptu. The choir did some singing, and
talked about what they did during the summer. It was a great first meeting.

120 street. Public speaking is from 9 a.m. to 10:45 a.m. Choir is from 10:45

Twin Club
We had lost track of our twin club in Jamaica, when
snail mail was returned and emails bounced and we
thought that that was that. At this years International
Convention, Opt Keivin ran into Opt Jessica from our
Twin Club. Jessica sends her and her clubs best wishes
to our club and wishes to reestablish contact with us.
Jessica had changed jobs and is now looking forward to
seeing our bulletins once again.
