COMING PROGRAMS 
The presentation announced above for our May meeting promises to be 
most enjoyable. Marcia Kahn writes: "We are planning to use slides 
of shells and coral that Joan and Elliot have taken, slides of the 
shell and coral collection of the de Jonghe's of Curagao, slides of 
my sculptures which incorporate coral and shells. One, two or all 
of us will take turns speaking... " 
If all goes as planned, Frank Nelson will be the speaker with slides 
to show us at the June meeting of his yet-to-be-taken trip to St. 
Lucia.
