Program:
Past President Mark Hoekstra presented the annual Mexicali weekend to us. He shared that this event has been going on for 40 years and it started out in Northern California as a medical mission and has evolved into a building project. This year they built something they hadn’t done before, a large facility that will serve as a library/meeting place for the kids for after school. As usual everyone worked very hard for 2 days and as usual they managed to find time for some fun. A huge thank you goes out to everyone that participated either financially or went down for the weekend to do the work. This is an annual project so there will be another opportunity to do this again next year!!
Enjoy the pictures from that weekend!!
