Debra Mason is back, said that PETS was great and is feeling confident about her year as President.  Update on Chera Boom, she now has a walking cast and is well.  Chera is still looking for a 3rd host family for Akila, as well as club members to include Akila in any fun stuff you are doing, she wants more Alaska experiences, so if you are going skiing, hiking, sight seeing, to the movies, making cookies, think about including Akila,  she would like to see American life.
