The Pink City is one of the<br />
most exotic in all of India.<br />
Native dress is not an uncommon<br />
sight.<br />
A warm welcome is nearly always found<br />
in India. The hospitality of the Indian<br />
people is legendary.<br />
This month we <strong>are</strong> experimenting<br />
with creating links from the newsletter<br />
(a PDF file) to other types of<br />
files, including videos, that <strong>are</strong> located<br />
elsewhere. The following link<br />
will hopefully will take you to a<br />
YouTube video created by Greg<br />
Udouj of the Memphis East club. It<br />
honors immediate Past President<br />
Leigh Anne Hart and memorializes<br />
Richard Blount, a 21‐year member<br />
of the club who died last November.<br />
Your computer may or may not<br />
permit the link to work, but we<br />
hope it will.<br />
