Comm. at the U of A, Tracy and her high school sweetheart welcomed a daughter and son while living in Grands Prairie.  Wanting to live somewhere warmer, Tracy and family moved to Lethbridge where she joined southern Stationers.  A trip to Puerto Escondido in Mexico led to a career in Travel.  Tracy would be happy to help you plan an “Inspired Vacation”.   Kim Davis, Barrie Orich, Pat Killoran and Loralee Burton gave updates on several of our international projects: in Nepal (a well-equipped school), the APU Girl’s School in Malawi (exceptional academic success, and close to being self-sustaining after only 13 years), Costa Rica (Microcredit and a proposed water project) and Mexico (electrical service and furnishings for a school).    Pat Killoran also told us about the famine affecting those surrounding the APU School.  The school’s co-founders Christie Johnson and Memory Mdyetseni have started a Go Fund Me campaign to assist the elderly, single mothers and children.  For more details, go to:  https://www.gofundme.com/f/famine-relief-near-apu-malawi?utm_source=customer&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=p_cp+share-sheet   Jeff Warren found the Ace of Spades for $401.
