Plans to purchase 2 busses, loaded with medical and educational supplies (Water Management) and drive them to Mexico next March was supported unanimously at the July club assembly. The up to $12,000 project still requires more analysis, structuring,  funding and implementation. Much of the medical equipment has already been acquired thanks to the recent hospital amalgamation.
