Program Speaker - Doug Barram • Doug Barram, a longtime minister of the Prescott Community Church, reflected on the meaning of love and commitment. Barram, who has been married 41 years and helped found the FRIENDS program for at-risk youth, reminded Exchange Club members that love lasts forever and that we should never give up on our relationships. Although temptations are often presented during our lives, he said true love and honesty should always rise above.
Thanks so much to Sharon and Nancy for all their hard work!

College Rodeo Rodeo tickets and posters are now available. Jay Broughton is encouraging club members to volunteer. The event is just weeks away. Tickets sales are very important to this event. For ticket information, call Ed George at 525-7527.
Food Drive The Exchange Club food drive is underway. Last year Rotary collected twice as much as our Exchange Club. This year we plan to correct that situation. A collection bin will be at upcoming meetings. Camp Fire USA has also been added as a collection site this year. The five most appreciated items are: Mac n’ Cheese, jelly/jam, tomato products (ie. tomato sauce), canned fruit, and canned “meals” (ie. stews, ravioli).
