*We had a very successful and fun BBQ/planning meeting last month! Thanks again to Ammon and Kristin for opening your home, and for everyone making the trip to be there.
*The hotel for July 19-24 is being arranged as we speak. We will be staying as a group on these dates at a discounted rate and the rest of the days you will be in charge of arranging your own accommodations. We will let you know when we have more detail on cost. (Note: Many are planning on staying at the Guayaquil Temple on Saturday the 18th to do some temple work the next day. Don't forget to put recommends-adults and kids- on the list of what what to bring.)
*Thank you to those who are sending Abe your flight itineraries-keep them coming as you book! If you haven't already, shoot him a quick email at abecubano@gmail.com with the following info:
1. Who is attending the trip to Ecuador
2. Names and ages of youth who are accompanying you
3. Best way to contact you
4. Email
5. Cell number
*We are so excited, we have almost 30 youth (14-18) going this year! More info to come about how we will be organizing everyone into teams.
*Don't forget: it takes longer to get a passport the closer you get to summer. I know- we paid the expediting fee once for 6 passports-ugh!
*If you would like to post something and don't have the login info, just send a quick email to Daphne at daph@prolook.com telling me what you want to say.

50 KIDS SPONSORED!
Thanks to our group's donations and efforts we are able to send 50 kids to school in April. There are more fundraisers in progress as we speak through Humanity Corps and we project that 80 children will be able to attend school this year. That's 30 more than last year! We are filling the tutoring center that we worked so hard to complete. Now that's what I call sustainable aid. Thanks everyone!
