The Harry S. Labor Memorial Scholarship was awarded to Sara Stanyard. Mr. Labor was a long time educator in the EP school district, and a member of our Club.
EP saw a return visit this weekend from Heather Scriven Hoffman. Heather was an exchange student from Australia in 1970. She is now married and has 4 adult children.
We received Thank you notes from the DARE graduates. One student wrote: "Thank you for your support. If you didn't help DARE we would not have this wonderful program. A lot of my friends and I think this program 's very good & fun. Some kids think about smoking but with the program a lot of that has changes. Also we have a very good instructor- Officer Moore. DARE rocks forever."
PROGRAM
Our exchange student, Fabian was our speaker today. Fabi was thoroughly enjoyed in year in the USA. He had a difficult time deciding which trip he has enjoyed the most- New Orleans, Niagara Falls, London, New York, etc. Fabi is the first exchange student in EP who has passed the proficiency test and received a regular diploma.
Fabi did note that school in the USA is "incredibly easy." In Chile the students take more classes and have less time for extracurricular activities. Students in Chile do not have jobs or cars because they must concentrate on their studies.
It has been a pleasure getting to know Fabi. I know that Doug & Vicki will sure miss him when he's gone. I know we all wish him the best of luck and hope it makes it back for graduate school in Pittsburgh!
JOKES OF
THE DAY
A guy just died and he's at the pearly gates, waiting to be admitted, while St.
Peter is leafin' through this Big Book to see if the guy is worthy.
St. Peter goes through the Book several times, furrows his brow and says to the guy, 'You
know, I can't see that you ever did anything really bad in your life, but you never did
anything really good either. If you can point to even one REALLY GOOD DEED-- you're in.'
The guy thinks for a moment and says, 'Yeah, there was this one time when I was driving
down the highway and saw a giant group of thugs assaulting this poor girl. I slowed down
my car to see what was going on and sure enough, there they were, about 50 of 'em
harassing this terrified young woman.
Infuriated, I got out of my car, grabbed a tire iron out of my trunk, and walked up to the
leader of the gang, a huge guy with a studded leather jacket and a chain running from his
nose to his ear. As I walked up to the leader, the thugs formed a circle around me. So, I
ripped the leader's chain off his face and smashed him over the head with the tire
iron. Layed him out. Then I turned and yelled at the rest of them, 'Leave this poor
innocent girl alone! You're all a bunch of sick, deranged animals! Go home before I teach
you
all a lesson in pain!''
St. Peter, impressed, says, 'Really? When did this happen?'
'Oh, about two minutes ago.'
HAPPY MEMORIAL DAY
