     International

          The club also directs funds and volunteer effort to various
            international projects. During the past decade, the club has
            provided medical equipment and supplies to communities
            in Argentina, books to Thailand, and money and hands-on
            support to orthopedic medical teams in Guatemala. In the

            last few years, the club has organized and sponsored health
            care clinics in rural areas of Guatemala and is currently
            directing efforts to build a permanent dental clinic in the

village of Santa Catalina Mita in south western Guatemala.
