At noon on Saturday, April 9th at Lafayette Theater 10 there will be a behind the scenes tour followed by Rossini's comic opera "Le Comte Ory". The cost will be $18.50 for seniors ands a few dollars more fo under ages. The opera entertains for over three hours. By that time everyone will be hungry. Dinner is at Nine Irish Brothers. Since the private room there only holds 32, let LETA know now that you want to participate.

CAROL GALBRAITH'S mother passed away Friday in Ft Wayne. Bernice Schweikhardt was 94 years young. It was unexpected and sudden, but ROB and CAROL were lucky enough to get to her side before she passed, along with her 2 other children and their spouses. Thoughts and prayers from her fellow Rotarians during this trying time would be appreciated.
