The Domestic Engineers Learning Circle met in the home of Sally Benson at 7 p.m. April 28. Sally introduced the speaker, Ian Castillo, a Rotary Club exchange student from Chile. He showed pictures of his country and spoke of the different areas, because of the length of the country the climate varies form north to south. He didn’t speak any English when he came here but the Spanish-speaking students had helped him and interpreted for him.
