FYI. Please forward to the members of your chapter.

Do you know of any students who can benefit from any of these summer programs?  If so, I believe they'd have to jump on them ASAP because summer is just about here. Please forward to family and friends or church members or any club or organization that you are involved with.  Our kids need every opportunity they can get.
