First Meeting Down!

On Monday, La Fuerza Azul 2017 made its first team appearance in the world's hottest cafeteria.  (It's good practice for the D.R. climate!)  It was wonderful to see so many new and return travelers. 

In between now and our next meeting, what should I be doing?
  • Send your fundraising letters today!
  • Get (borrow) a large duffle bag as all travelers will need to be responsible for a second bag
  • Contact travel clinic to take care of your shots/meds.
  • Collect donated meds, shoes, and toiletries (details below)
  • Review training video on our team blog (if you haven't already)
  • Review packing list and purchase any items you will need
If you have any questions regarding the above list, please ask!  Do not wait until the last minute to schedule appointments or shop for needed items.  

See you all on October 16th @ 4:30 for our next meeting!

Besos,
Los Chaperones
