January 13th 2007 Group Meeting

Our all-day Saturday meeting in Chatham-Kent was a very productive day. We were able to accomplish a lot of things off our to-do list with only a month to go before we leave for Thailand.

The morning started off with an interview with the Chatham Daily News for an article on our opportunity. The reporter asked a lot of great questions. The article was published on Monday, January 15^th. They also took a group photo for the paper.

We then had an opportunity to sit with Max, 2006 Team Leader of the GSE Team to Peru, and ask questions about his team’s trip. It was a great opportunity to ask questions on what we should expect everyday, how much money should we take and things we should look forward to. Max had a lot of good advice. Thanks Max for your advice and good stories.

We were then back to the tasks at hand on our to-do list. We tackled the broadsheet. This sheet is designed as an introduction of us to the Rotarians at the meetings. It will be in English and Thai for easy reference. Great work Nicole on putting that all together.

We finished up other things like our uniform selections, business cards, thank you cards and talked about the presentation. Our major task at hand is finishing the presentation for the next meeting. We are not far from having it all put together.

Well with only one month to go, we are getting excited and cannot wait to meet and see some many new things. What an exciting time and the anticipation for each us seems to be growing every day. I am really excited to share this experience with this team. We all get along amazing and lines of communication are open.

Til next time….
