From the President

Well the Valentines Dinner
Dance was a very beautiful evening for all those of us who attended. I
know my wife and I enjoyed the dinner and dance. Thanks to Muffy Long and
Sally Kildea for doing such a wonderful job in putting it all together.
Now for the Annual Bazaar, what a great
success! I want personally to thank Yvonne Ward for putting together yet
another Bazaar with all her volunteers. Next year we hope to see even more
of you new members get involved. Don’t forget to bring that extra suitcase
full of things down when you return next year.
As for this newsletter, I would like to
know those of you who can read it on the World Wide Web to e-mail
your names to our Club e-mail address ifc@zonavirtual.com.mx telling us
that you no longer want
it mailed to your address. We will have hard copies available
at the Clubhouse upon your return to Puerto Vallarta.
As President, and on behalf of all the club
members, we want to thank the following people for their generous donations
to the IFC:
Westminster Rotary Club - Colorado
Robert B. McLaughlin - Illinois

Dr. John Mabrey - Pto Vallarta
Also, special thanks to Dusty Graham -Ontario
and Bill Kouracos - Illinois for bringing down school supplies.
Do not forget our general meeting on Tuesday

turnout for the International Friendship Club. |

During the year there have been 4 programs—there were seen 147 patients

Always at Informe time there is a lot of
