Last weeks District Assembly was very well attended by President-Elect Bill, Jim Robinson, Tim Clark, Liz Bradt and John Neely.

Last Sunday Liz Bradt also attended the District Ineract Assembly in Woburn. She was able to see other clubs do with their Interact Club. It is important to note that the Salem Club is recognized as having one of the most complete set of student support programs in the entire District.
