Friday, Jan. 18; 8:00 p.m

Hi all:

Svatka Hermanek presents on The Czech Republic and Slovakia all wrapped up together again–Friday, Jan. 18; 8:00 p.m. at Old York Tower, 85 The Esplanade, as usual.

As much as we appreciate these old favourites, keep in mind that we are always looking for some “new blood” to make presentations.  Do you have a trip to present at future programs, or even an oldie?  I was shocked when my Japanese housemate had never seen a Kodak Carousel projector or slides!  See you Friday; I will be back from Cuba in time that day.    Bruce Weber 416 203-0911

P.s. Svatka is just back from teaching assignments in Uruguay and Argentina. Eduardo Barnett heads home to Argentina at the end of February this year. Bruce Weber will travel again with Horizons of Friendship to Nicaragua in February. Marilyn Weber and Mort Sider are trying to get to India late in the winter. Keitaro Arakawa, currently helping out Bruce Weber since his accident, is heading for Lima, then overland to Buenos Aires in February-March 2013 before returning to Japan in June.

Who else is where?        Bruce
