NOTE It has come to my attention that many people do not have much information on tahe various clubs in the Brookhin area. For this reason, I will begin running items on the organizations in the community which people may join. Perhaps if people were better informed, they would be more inclined to join or at least attend some meetings. If you would like a summary of your club's background and meeting times printefi, please caîl me or leave an item at Brown's. Thank you for your co-operation.
