While the editor was away...

While the "web-editor" was out of town, the Van Buren Rotary Club continued with excellent programs. On April 2, 2009, Cindy Long and Jennifer Goodson presented a program on the Fort Smith Library. On April 9th, the club learned about the Group Study Exchange Program and that District 6110 will be hosting a group from Chile this year. Cathy Gifford and Shirley Williams will serve as local team members for the exchange program. Then Tom Watkins, Director of the Van Buren Fine Arts Center, brought his bagpipes to the Rotary meeting on April 16th. Tom discussed the colorful history and traditions that eventually led to their use in the Highlands regiments formed by the British Empire.

Thanks to the speakers and the Rotarians who arranged for the interesting programs.
