Brent Pickard, our Canadian friend has written to our club reporting on the devastating fires in Canada, and has a requested we support a Bushfire appeal. This will be discussed at our Board meeting next Monday night.

Darren Wallace runs our Youth Exchange program and he is now looking for host families for our in-bound exchange student, Willis Cheng from Taiwan (Taoyuan City, near Taipei).
