Wayne thanked everyone for giving he and Norma the opportunity to experience delivering all the books and equipment. He said it was awesome to see how they responded. He had a lot of pictures and an article from the Mountain Messenger. He noted that there was a little boy named Adrain, who he gave "our Adrian's" address and hopefully we will see some correspondence. He also noted that our club inspired the local Rotary Club to make sure each child in the elementary school would have a dictionary.....more to come on this later. |
