This newsletter is yours. Items related to club activities or Friendship Force goals are published most months. I send out an e-mail at the beginning of the calendar month asking for contributions. I ask that you write your own copy; I will edit for size and grammatical accuracy only. Not for content. Please make sure that your message is complete. I will only forward what you write; though I may add emphasis. Include your own phone # for questions.
There is no member’s regular meeting in August. In September many of us will be in New Zealand and it has been suggested that those members who are NOT on the trip would prefer to get together for a dinner in a restaurant. You will get more information on this by way of an Infogram when details are ready.
The IMPORTANT ANNUAL MEETING will be held, as usual, in October.
FEEDBACK ABOUT THE RECENT FLORIDA EXCHANGE
The Florida Exchange was delightful. It was so well planned everyone took part and it was a great success. The folks at Callahans could not have been more accomodating. My Floridian--Judi Stratton was a joy to hostess and she was most enthusiastic about all the adventures the week held. I for one am ready to go to Florida.

Our Floridian ambassadors were Ann and Bob Flick from the Orlando area. As always the beginning of the exchange we were strangers, by the end we were best friends and looking forward to visiting Florida. Enclosed is a photo of Ann and Bob, Kitsy and Bob Wikkerink and Linda and Art Campbell enjoying a meal in Shady Cove.

Dear FFSO members,
I am out of town so my FFSO roster is sitting on my desk at home. Therefore my thank you will have to be generic.
Our 2010 Silent Auction was a wonderful success thanks to sooooooooo much help from many of our members and you know who you are. All the work done from the very beginning: planning, collecting the items, making baskets, pricing, set up at Callahan's, registering the bidders, cashering, handing out the sold items, selling raffle tickets, and clean up made my job sooooooooooooo very easy. Thank you, thank you, thank you.
One more thank you to all who purchased items at the auction. The money raised from this event was very important to keep our budget in the black.
In Friendship,
Barbara Horton
Gregg and I spent the day with Bob and Ann who knew all about beaches since they have a condo on a Florida one. They had seen redwoods before but still responded to the powerful forest magic. But it was when we got to an overlook outside of Brookings that awe turned to unbelief. An ocean breaking against craggy cliffs, and big boulders far out into the water. Foam lines tied the rocks together from North to South, defining where the peninsula used to be, now worn down and underwater. And black sand! Like a looking-glass world, everything was reversed and fascinating.
