PRESIDENT’S WEEKEND
The dance has been planned well because Friday is a day off. This weekend is President’s Weekend.

Another topic might be the importance of choosing a great president and the contribution each one can make to our country, our people and the world.

Have a great week and please come to the dance! See you there.
