Off to Haiti agian!

Good day all,
Carla and I are off to a Assembly in Jeremie Haiti. We will be in Port Au prince tonight and off to Jeremie Friday to Sunday and then home.

While in Haiti we are reviewing MANY Task Force items as it is the end of the matching grants period so everyone is coming out of the woodwork to make the deadline of March 1st. Their lack of planning is now our emergency, funny how that works. Just as a side note, they may deal with 5 to 10 MG's per District per year. We currently have 84 on the books and many in the wings.

We are meeting with District 7150 to discuss a number of projects that they are contemplating as well.

We have a meeting set up with USAID and the US ambassador to discuss furthering the resolution from the Water Summit on the Master plan for Sustainable Water Supply for Haiti. Doesn't sound like to much slack time to me!!!


We have had a busy week at home, completing our Bathroom construction which was quite a challenge and a litany of Rotary meetings, related mostly to the Conference in May but also some on the GSE teams and some on projects in Nassau.

I am just getting in the ADG Club Reports and the Award applications from the Clubs and the District is doing exceptionally well. I will share all this information at the District Conference along with a continuous slide show of pictures taken throughout the District during our visits. That's about 1000 pictures and not all of them flattering as you can imagine.

They just called the flight so I will continue this later.
