    Fellow Miconians Let me take this opportunity to wish you and your family a peaceful and blessed Christmas season. Here at The Mico we have been busy with a variety of activities in the last quarter of 2011. Homecoming was a success and again I wish to thank those of you who came home, participated and reconnected with our alma mater. During Homecoming our community outreach project was done in partnership with the National Housing Trust. With their assistance we recently donated books valued at approximately J$200,000 to three (3) schools identified during that project. Those schools are: 1. 2. 3. The Mico Practising John Mills All Age Alman Town Primary The schools are very grateful to those of you who participated in that project and look forward to our next visit.

    December 2011 I encourage all chapters and persons hosting fundraisers at various locations to consider donating small amounts (possibly 1520%) to that Fund to assist students who are in great need.
