Our Club Members Going to Guatemala
Our Guatemala Ak' Tenamit project continues with our club members, and some of their families, going on the service trip from February 13-21.  Going this year are:  Stephen Legge and his wife Jeannette, Dan Wolf and his daughter Zoe, Jing O'Brien and her daughter Michelle, Bill Balling, Steve Koebernick, Rob Seitz and our Assistant Governor Lyle Staab.  Former member Mike LeTourneau and his son are also going.  Other Rotarians fill out the group to 22.
 
There are considerable weight restrictions, but the group would welcome gently used summer clothing and office supplies (not paper though).  Deflated soccer balls are also welcome.
 
We look forward to a presentation of their accomplishments and experiences at a future meeting.  Safe travels!
