problem Georgetown high school wants to start up a taxi service for members of the school Under the taxi service system students after paying a small fee would be able to call a taxi to come and pick them up wherever they may be and drive them home would pay for the ride and the student would then pay back the school Everyone who attended the workshop thought that this was an excellent idea With any luck it will start soon into the next school year Georgetown high school OSAID members would prefer to do more practical work than educational for the town It is a good possibility that there will be an workshop every year from now on Everyone is already looking forward to getting together and share ideas Mrs said OFF ALL IN STOCK Georgetown Hobby Joy Fashions For The Young At Heart 115 MAM ST
