Last newsletter I reported the Scholarship fund had been reinstated. Well, that has now been rescinded. I am proud that the board expressed their concern for both the finical responsibilities to the club and making waves for a presidentially "pushed" program. The final concept involves different avenues for exposing TARA to the local community. I support them and look forward to working with these individuals who truly look out for the membership's best interests.

And in that same vein, I've spoken with the local Boy's and Girl's club about TARA presenting a program to the youth group. They would like a written draft of what we have to offer and how we would like to present it. I'll be looking for volunteers at our next club meeting.

This April Meeting is a busy one, with elections, van training, and a public invited demonstration of our van in operation. Please plan on attending and helping out with all the activities.

AND, don't forget we have an "ELECTION"!!! While the officers slate will remain unopposed, the directors positions are filled with enthusiastic volunteers. Indeed, a tough call as all are well qualified and possess the qualities we need to continue TARA's continued success for the coming year!
