Dear Gary,<br>
<br>
Do you know about the Rotary Festival of Friendship scheduled for March 14th to 25th, 2026? It's a friendship travel and project fair over 24 years old between our Rotary District 5130 and Mexico's Rotary District 4140. We travel to Mexico and are introduced to projects the Mexican Rotary Clubs are working towards. In addition to socializing with our international friends, we visit projects where they are investing their time, talent, treasures and connections. They hope we will join them by helping with funding to bring projects that inspire us to fruition. It's safe, inspiring, inexpensive, and fun. <br>
<br>
Attached you will see a flyer giving you details and an application. One attachment is in Word, the other a PDF. <br>
<br>
We have capacity for 25 participants total. Sixteen have already signed on. Applications are accepted on a first received basis. Once we reach 25 total participants, we will establish a back-up waiting list. Rotarians and significant others count in the total. <br>
<br>
We are planning a zoom meet-up and orientation on Saturday, October 18th at 5:00pm. It is open to those who have submitted an application. We will share information about making reservations for air and hotels, more details, and start getting to know each other.<br>
<br>
If you need more information than is in the flyer, please call Maria Lemus or David Mark-Raymond, Team Co-Leaders<br>
Please print and send your application via email to secure your spot. <br>
<br>
If your club is interested in speakers about this lovely long-term relationship and the projects we are currently supporting, we would love to present.<br>
<br>
Looking forward to our time together,<br>
<br>
