When you hear of someone that is sick, who do you call?
In January, 2001, Alice Boos graciously volunteered to be the Detroit Swiss Society contact for notifying when our members and their families are sick. She has been doing a wonderful job, sending well wishes on behalf of the Detroit Swiss Society. So, just as a reminder, you can send an email to AliceBoos@hotmail.com or any of the DSS Board Members.
