The Geography Contest Drawing:
The 6th grader’s
contest’s last day to turn in entries is over. Jennifer
Dewsnap visits the club next week to pull the winner
Jennifer Dewsnap advised that the geography contest based on atlases the club
presented to several hundred students has been completed,
and that one student correctly answered all the questions on the open book
test. Jennifer will notify her this
week that she has won and will receive an IPOD. There are many smaller
prizes for other entrants.
Jennifer
is leaving the Club as she has been reassigned to
the main downtown library as Business & Science Manager. She says that after feeling things out at
her new job, she will definitely try to come back.
Mike Mills presented her with a Club Service award for all of her
work with the dictionary and atlas projects.
Entertainment
books are COMING! Linda Kaplan
explained that they sell for $30, of which $15 comes to the Club.
Mike announced that an
investigation is underway
concerning a possible new venue for our meetings.
Several places are being
considered but more information is needed before a decision can be
made.
Linda
and Asaad are part of this ad hoc committee.
