Explore. Dream. Discover!  It's not too late to join our group traveling to Austria, Czech Republic, Germany, Hungary, Poland and Slovakia in February 2018.  See for yourself the impact of building a wall, the devastation and scars of war, and the countries that inspired many of the fairytales we know, bursting with stories of wolves eating grannies, maids turned into princesses, and two siblings that stumble across a house made of candy.  In twenty years you will be more disappointed with the things you didn't do than with the things you did.  Travel while you are able, don't worry about the money - just make it work.  Experience is far more valuable than money will ever be!  Next meeting: Tuesday, September 12th, 7:00pm in the Highgate Elementary School Library.  Sign-up deadline: Friday, September 29, 2017.  Printed materials available on the table in the MVUHS lobby or contact vmachia@fnwsu.org  (Room A-37/cooking classroom).
