From Phyllis Layton —

Plans are under way to start on the fall newsletter. It would be great to get it out before activities start in September.

RIA will have the annual board meeting Tuesday Sept 11 at the new IMAA office. We need to find candidates for members of the board.

The INTERNATIONAL LUNCH program will start on Sept. 12 with our first speaker Roy Watson who will talk about his world travel experiences.

The annual ACHLA LATINO FESTIVAL will be held on Sept. 22 from 1PM-7PM at Silver Lake East Side Shelter with music, games, information, food. Organizations (RIA) are invited to partiicipate (no fee. RIA should have a table.  Miguel Valdez and Marcella Nixon are involved). For information contact Pilar Duque, 273-3953 or pduqueroch@yahoo.com; to participate contact Miguel Valdez valdez.Miiguel@co.olmsted.mn.us.
