and attended several Kiwani's dinners.
Activities for the rest of the school year are still in the planning,
but for Valentine's Day, they will be selling candy grams.

Sincerely,
I welcome your comments and would appreciate your support and your vote on
Tuesday, February 13, 2001.
As a member of the school board I have
been active in both school and community
activities in order to better understand and
serve the needs of the community.
Because of my seventeen years of experience on the school board, my thirty-
three years of participation in community activities in Perkins, and my thirty-
seven years of experience as a self-employed building contractor, I believe that
I can provide the skills and leadership necessary to assist P-T Schools with
education and growth issues for the next five years.
