Guest Speakers;
Nicole Barry and Anna Wojenski spoke of their recent triup to Honduras. It was arranged through Maria Leonard the coffee lady, thanks to help from Tristam. They planned the trip at the last minute so it was too late to get the shots and meds they would need, but their hosts made sure they were well protected. They spent time in a school grade K-6, spending a day in each grade. They are asking for children's books to be sent to the school.
