The setting was the midway of a carnival with Russian Vodka,” Penny Pitching ' and the “Country Store.” We enjoyed sponsoring this social, and I'd like to take this opportunity to thank all the Aggie Boys' who helped us. For our annual Christmas Project, we brought, wrapped, and sent Christ- mas gifts to children in Japan and Korea. In the middle of December we held a Christmas party in the kitchen. We exchanged gifts, played games, and had refreshments. As our Community Project this year, we wrote a letter to “Strike It Rich. asking for a helping hand on this television show for Billy Lovely.
