3.Temp. 8 C. Rain (all week end) 'Thusly' grey sky. -----
4. We had a speech contest for top High School students during our lunch last Tuesday. Great fun.
The winner got $1,000 from a legacy from a PDG, Alain Lidiard, member of our Club years ago. It was great fun.
We have it every year. There were seven contestants.
Make a note I am not here from 20 May till 6 June.
