Chairman's Message
On June 21st, 11 well traveled members and myself departed for a one-week trip to North Korea. An exciting destination, regardless of their political beliefs, we were given VIP status all the way and free to move around. We will try to send our quarterly Centurian by e-mail to those whose address we have. This will include all attachments. If you receive all material OK, you will no longer receive copies in the mail. We will however mail all info until December 2002.
June Guest Speaker Wendy Windebank
Her travels have encompassed most areas of the world. "Learning about a country's history, culture, traditions, and religion, and photographing sights and scenery, give me a total immersion through which I evolve a deep connection." She has been published in several magazines, newspapers and various online sites, and her slide presentations cover selected destinations which include Morocco, Turkey, Czech Republic, Australia and Myanmar. See her website at windebank.com/wendy for further information. |

Congratulations to Major Bonnie O'Leary, for their 13th Anniversary.
(See more details, under Area Coordinator's Report). Our June Meeting
at Lawry's The Prime Rib Restaurant was well attended and my special
thanks to all the staff at Lawry's for making this so successful.
Wendy Windebank a well-known free-lance writer and photographer,
origi-nally from South Africa, presented an outstanding presentation
on the "Golden Land", Old Burma and New Myanmar. Thank
you Wendy. 
Wendy
Windebank is a freelance travel writer and photographer who was
born in South Africa where she lived for 25 years. A traveler through
inherited genes (both grandfathers ventured to South Africa from
England at the turn of the last century), she "hit the road"
at a young age. After marrying an Englishman, she moved to England
for 13 years; transferring to Los Angeles in 1984. 
Our
June event at Lawry's Prime Rib Restaurant in Los Angeles was a
very successful event, it's always well attended. Effective July
15th we are able to accept American Express, Visa and Mastercard
for luncheons as well yearly dues. We know many members prefer to
use your credit cards, so you get mileage credit.
