NOTE FROM SHARON CHAMBERS (Tuesday Nov 24)
Good evening all: As you are aware from my announcement on Monday and will be once it is in the Bulletin, some of our RYLA students were hoping to have an Open Mike Coffee House on Friday. This has not come together with only one name being submitted on each sign in sheet at the schools and a couple of those were questionable. We will try again, however I think the kids are so busy right now that the timing was not good.Mind you I am not sure when they are not busy!!!
