Thank
You

Dear Sir;

The Seniors for San Antonio
would like to thank the people
in Terrace and area for the
moral and financial support
given to us.

Because of this support we

were able to travel to San"

Antonio, Texas to participate
in the U.S. National Senior
Sports Classic V — the senior
olympics.

We enjoyed the hospitality
of the American people, and
although the competition was
world-class, every one of our
athletes surpassed their per-
sonal best.

Seniors for San Antonio
