Thanks to generous donations from two dentists from our club, Dr. Mark Vanderkaay and Dr. Larry Duffield, we now have a few hundred more toothbrushes and paste to give to rural Hondurans. 78 percent of all Hondurans get their water from ground sources. Toothbrushes are uncommon. Missing teeth are plentiful.
Thanks to RO Rotarians Dorothy Sheldon, Maureen Sullivan, and PAG Shelley Lake, we have beautiful receiving blankets, for infants in the neo-natal ward of the local hospital in Santa Barbara. Others from our group are bearing gifts as well. I'm sure all will be appreciated.
One of those bearing gifts was Stephen Youltz, our incoming DG 2012. He was bringing 6 Nagene water bottles to give to our Peace Corps volunteers. It is with great regret that Steve had to cancel his trip, just three days out. I told him he could hand deliver some next year as we embark on a district-wide venture. This is my greatest hope for 6380.
