CORRECTION:
In the October issue of the District 8 Advocate, the
199er Championship was erroneously identified as completing
their 3rd year. In fact the 199er Championship
has been running for more than TWELVE (12) years --
for 8 years under the coordination of Mary Hruby,
and for a number of years before THAT under the coordination
of Linda Powers. And then most recently, under
the coordination of Jane Ettelson.
Apologies
to both Linda and Mary for this mistake and omission. |
