2024/2025 Seating Clinics- Dates Tentative

Three fifty-three foot trucks (the big boys) in the past two months!  Y’all give it up for our partners - Joni and Friends - who continue blessing us with refurbished chairs from their operations in prison workshops (500 refurbished chairs from Clifton, Tennessee to projects in Mexico - en route).  The trucks that were loaded from our Modesto warehouse (courtesy Mr. Murphy) will refurbish not only Hope Haven West projects but assist ALEM and World Access Mission (charities that employ disabled wheelchair mechanics in Atlacomulco and Cuernavaca, Mexico) Good Juju my friends!

Container to the Philippines is - signed, sealed and delivered - wheelchairs securely tucked into partners warehouse, awaiting October arrival of Hope Haven West volunteers.

Speaking of volunteers -

Hiatus declared at Ground Zero (warehouse at 1628 Nadine Avenue) for assembly of Hope Haven Kids Chairs in Modesto.  Volunteers are awaiting shipment of the last 200 (or so) seating systems (technical lingo) to complete assembly of 1,000 chairs that have been assembled by this team of production animals…

Taking advantage of the break in action to complete some much needed improvements and renovation of our warehouse space - appreciate the dedicated souls who continue to faithfully assemble this little chariot of mercy for hundreds of disabled kids around the world.

In the year 2025 - Exordium and Terminus (you don’t know - could happen) - “If man is still alive” - mark you calendars…

March 9 through 22 (give or take) Lima (and some other little hamlet you never heard of on the border with Ecuador) - Peru (becoming a habit)

Several adventures in Mexico (TBD), Ecuador, El Salvador, possibly Argentina (still in the game), and… who the heck knows?  Stay Tuned…

May 9th - Uncle Lonny’s Birthday Bash at the State Theater - this years featured band - California Zephyr (continuing our “Legends” series)

Thats it!  

All work and no play makes Jack (and Uncle Lonny) a dull boy. Just so you know that is not happening -\

Waging Heavy Peace,

Uncle Lonny
