Program Review Past Presidents - A look back Some of us have trouble remembering what happened yesterday, let alone decades of memories. A panel of past Exchange Club Presidents gave club members a time machine ride back into club history during a reflection of their presidency. Vern Kegley - 1957-58; John Reese - 1963-64; Tom Baffney - 1980-81; and Kathy Covey - 1991-92 were panel guests. Past presidents discussed fund raising they were involved with and issues pertaining to the club during their tenure. They all encouraged members to actively pursue board positions and to become more involved. The also said membership remains a top goal.

District President Exchange Club Northwest District President Don Tuttle visited our club this week. He thanked Walla Walla club members for their commitment to the Exchange Club. He encouraged club members to submit awards for the club and continue recruiting new members. He also invited club members to attend the District Convention at Ocean Shores in May.
FRIENDS correction The telephone number listed for the FRIENDS program was incorrect. The correct number is 527-4745. FRIENDS program matches an adult volunteer with a young person. Walla Walla has 35 boys and four girls still waiting to be matched. The program is very rewarding and not a tremendous time commitment.
