" a sign or banner would be nice but they can be costly. the committee works on a very tight budget. the help with about half of the cost for the students but the adults pay the full cost out of their pocket . this year was about $ 2,500 per adult. so if any one has any ideas or would like to join and help out , please get involved.

" Join the Navy and sometime in your twenty year career I am sure you will be stationed in Japan. The Navy will even pay your trip there and back, won't cost you a single penny for transportation. In fact there is a fleet of ships stationed there now that use to be in the Phillipines.
You really want to see the Orient and Europe in all it's splender I suggest a trip to Singapore. There are so many cultural marvels in that city it is unreal, some of the most beautiful people you have ever seen. I have heard the same about Bangkok, Thailand and Tapai, Taiwan as well. The only part of Japan I ever saw was Yokosuka and I was not impressed, over priced and dirty, really, really dirty. Where as Singpore and Hong Kong China were just the opposite very, very clean. Just some information you might want to experience some day. "
