Working Hard Exercising Minds
In
an attempt to get our interested TOCFED people together we have established a
TOCFED club. The Club meets every 6
weeks with the purpose of keeping in touch and being able to talk the TOC
language with other educators. Thirty
TOC educators from a variety of educational organizations and positions were on
hand October 7, 1999 in Ramt-Gan to celebrate our first meeting by working hard
exercising minds. Our next meeting is
scheduled for November 18, 1999.
