International Night will be held April 1, 2010, 6:00 p.m. at Community Chapel Church Fellowship Hall Rt. 34 & Rt. 146.

Each club is asked to choose a country and prepare a display for this evening. No two clubs may do presentations on the same country so as soon as your club has decided their country please contact the office with their choice by March 1. Clubs are also asked to provide traditional food for tasting by all participants.

After all clubs have given a presentation about their country the "tasting party" will begin. Approximately 30 members, parents and guests have attended in the past so keep that in mind when preparing food. The Extension office will provide water and table service.

If your club needs special items please have the club provide those items!

If you need reasonable accommodations to attend or have special dietary needs please contact the office by March 25.
