[nfbwatlk] Students from Korea coming to town

[kris Lawrence]

I think that is a wonderful idea for the new student division. As for 
which program I am not sure. My contact is through DSB.

See all who can attend at the Wine Tasting tomorrow night! Don't forget. 
E. B. Foote, 7:30 - 9:30pm $15 for members and $20 for non-members.
