Members of our club are organizing a house-building trip to Alto Cayma Aug.
14-23 and the group will include Firoz Peera, who will be District Governor
for 2010-2011.

The group of 10 will visit sites of .past projects our club.has done for
families and to see how they have progressed.  This year our group will
build a house for an older gentleman who has zero money and will have
surgery soon that will further incapacitate him. The shelter our club will
provide will help him as he copes to better his life. 

The group will include: Ed and Tricia King, Kayce King (Ed and Trisha’s
daughter), Kay May, Joy Rucker, David Hodgkins, Firoz Peera, Frank Kiker and
two of Frank’s nephews.
