Great! I also just got another $430 turned in so our turkey trot total is about $1700! Say hello to Tobias for me and January would be great to meet about all this and have you come and speak. Livestock and food exchange sounds really exciting!
Talk to you soon! - Jess
I just wanted to let you know they are online at http://www.bylochacon.com/teaching (click on "turkey trot").
Also, Veronica, would you be able to speak December 13, 14 or 15 during the lunch period or in the second or third week of January? Margee, could you come and speak in early to mid February?
I spoke with Scott's grandfather over Thanksgiving, and he's a big international rotary person. They are looking for an international project, and want some more information. Veronica, could we talk about putting something together for them? Margee, they want you to come and speak in February on a Wednesday afternoon if you could to promote the project. The club is in Camarillo. They also said they might try to get their Rotary high school clubs in on the fundraising if we do a good job of explaining and demonstrating what the money is used for.
Sorry for the fast note - lots of students! - Love, Jess

Hi! I'm so glad to hear from you! We raised at least $1300.25 on November 9th. We're also planning a soccer equipment drive at the end of January, and it would be great if you could stop by. It will be a really relaxed event. Also, I would love it if you could come and speak at a lunch meeting either in a couple weeks or in mid-January.
It would be great to have the kids (it will probably be a smallish group) hear what international development is about and all the travel opportunities you've had. They'll love you! It would be fun to visit and plan over winter break too. I think I get out the week before Christmas, but I'll have to double check on the date. After Christmas we'll be in Utah visiting Scott's sister for a few days but should be back before New Year's.
Talk to you soon! - Jess
