Every once in a while, you need a joy booster in your life. The best one I know is going with us on our annual trip to the Agalta Valley in Honduras - scheduled for February 27 - March 6, 2027.  Now is the time to reserve your spot. We have room for 80, so we should have plenty of spots. Our largest groups have been about 60, but it seems we have momentum.  We have groups of people signing up, particularly from Rotary clubs and friends recruiting friends. 

Our work will the diverse from the macho of mixing cement to the thoughtful of working with students in our schools. However, it is all a big party. You will love it. 

Check out www.havefoundation.org and www.hoi.org to get an idea of all the options. Whatever you decide to do will be joyful. It is friends working together to do good in a beautiful part of the world. 

As an aside, I encourage you to start rehearsing for our annual Talent Night. Michelle and I have already had two rehearsals. Nobody will be able to beat us next spring, but I hope you will try. 

Now is a good time for veterans to suggest new things we can do to build on what has been done. We already have some wonderful opportunities. The World Health Organization declared that vision is the top health issue worldwide.  More than two billion people have vision problems worldwide. If you can't see, it's hard to learn. 

Even though we should have enough room for everyone, it would be really helpful to know you are going. Send a $200 deposit to reserve your spot. It will be applied to your $995 in-country fee which covers all expenses once in Honduras.  Zelle me the deposit at 678-362-4883.
