    ALERT! GROUP OFFERING EXHIBITS OF ART AND HISTORY A PROBLEM

    NAESP has received reports that a group called "Washington, D.C. on
    Tour," which offers exhibits of art and history, has collected fees
    from
    schools and not appeared. The group sets up assemblies or field trips
    with schools, asks for fees prior to the "performance" then cancels
    and
    cannot be reached. When the group has appeared the "show" has not been
    worth the $10 per child cost. Reports say that this has happened in
    California, Texas, New Mexico, Colorado, Missouri, and possibly
    Alabama.
    The group also provides letters from Members of Congress that appear
    to
    be letters of endorsement.

    Principals are recommending not doing business with this group or
    giving
    them any money ahead of time. School leaders should alert their staffs
    and be sure to always follow district procedures when contracting with
    presenters, collecting funds, etc.

    Good friends, school spirit, hair-dos you'd like to forget.
    Classmates.com has them all. And with 4.4 million alumni already
    registered, there's a good chance you'll find your friends here:
