We have a new Club! The Y’s Service Club of San Jose was chartered in Costa Rica on June 14. We have sent them our congratulations, as well as a bell, gavel, and a flag set representing all the countries with Clubs, complete with engraving acknowledging the event. The Central Canada Region and the Canada/Caribbean Area have our thanks for sharing the cost of getting these items there. We have become official ‘Brother Clubs’ Now we are working on making that connection real. Discussions have started to get Canadian members and Costa Rican members together in the Talamanca to work on Light Up Costa Rica. If you are interested in participating in some 'voluntourism' and learning and working at the same time - call us or come to our meeting.
As the LUCR project builds momentum, and we expand our message about Fair Trade products, we can use your help. Come out to a meeting, or call Monroe for information 519-376-1334.
