Funeral services were held on Tuesday, March 18 and in lieu of flowers, donations to the Rita Bedard Scholarship Trust Fund were much appreciated. JS LIBRARY FILM FOR APRIL 1 . . . PORTRAIT OF A MARKET: SOLOLA High above Lake Atitlan, in what was once a Mayan stronghold, exists one of Central America's most colorful markets - Solola. It is a place of business important to the region's economic life and also a centre for friendly social gatherings; where families and friends meet to exchange goods and gossip. EXCELLENCE IN EDUCATION FUND PROPOSAL I wish to express my thanks to all the VVI employees who contributed ideas and proposals to the College's EXF Proposal Committee. As you may remember, we went through a similar exercise about 8 months ago. The Local Economic Renewal and Development (LERD) proposals immediately generated $131,500 into VVI Departments. Some of the projects have also been turned into base budget, or have received additional grants for another $120,000 for the 1986/87 fiscal year. I hope for an equally successful outcome for the Excellence for Education proposals.

If the completion date must be altered, the originating author will be informed of the revised projected completion date for the submission. iis/iC Page 2.

Centre several times, will receive less priority upon each subsequent revision. B.5 The W.P.
