From the Prez
Our annual dictionary project was again a success. All the 3rd-grade students in the Glendale school district received their dictionaries. They were excited to say the least.

Our speaker, Dave McCleary, presented some sobering thoughts on human trafficking and reinforced the good we can do as a peacebuilder club.
