Lichtenfels Vandalia Prestwick

Hello Spring, we hope! For those who did not get the chance to meet the 4 Lichtenfels young men that was here for the Youth Exchange...you missed a chance to meet some very nice young men. I wish to thank the host families for their hospitality and making a lifetime memory for them. Kelly, thank you for your tireless effort to bring about a Great Visit! You are the lady!!!

Next is the Lichtenfels visit June 8th thru the 15th. Please try and make some of the activities that we have planned for them. Contact Mary Blakesly at 898-6748 to sign up for events or with me at 898-6462.

Count down for Oktoberfest...4 months away!!! Chairperson Shannon Dixon and the Committee are bringing the myriad facets that compose the Okto-berfest together to crate another Great one for the guests.

Let’s hope the April Showers abate some so those May flowers can bloom.
