2025 Seating Clinics - Dates are set!

Legendary team, epic adventure!  2 Weeks, 3 Cities, 466 miles, 573 Chairs - Muy bien (and boy, am I tired)!

July 26th through August 1st - Irapuato in our crosshairs - Next Hope Haven West adventure is right around the corner. This marks our third project with the wildly accommodating and ridiculously hospitable Rotarians of Irapuato.  For those interested in extending their sojourn in Old Mexico - Guanajuato and San Miguel de Allende are just up the road - both are fascinating and historically rich colonial pueblo’s that will not disappoint the intrepid traveler.  Flights are booked - no time to waste - if your game for a great adventure, email me today and I will send you details (and a good time will be had by all)!

The ship is coming in folks - Hope Haven West is currently arranging shipping of wheelchairs providing four additional service opportunities this year!  

August 9th through 15th - Ecuador Rising…  This will be our fourth (maybe fifth) engagement in the coastal burb of Portoviejo.  Not a particularly easy assignment friends.  Ecuador is a country in the grips of some uprising and mischief being perpetrated by nefarious characters (bad boys).  We (likely) will never see any of these scoundrels - but we do witness the backwash (as in shotgun guards in front of our favorite restaurants - glad to see ya boys)!

Then they’ll raise their hands

Sayin’ we’ll meet all your demands

But we’ll shout from the bow your days are numbered

And like Pharaoh’s tribe

They’ll be drownded in the tide

And like Goliath, they’ll be conquered

September 7th through 13th - Beautiful Veracruz - Returning to this whimsical harbor - we will be welcomed by old friends and gentle breezes while assembling a team of Hope Haven veterans and newly vinted “seating specialists” from our cohorts in Cuernavaca .  Magic Towns of Coatepec, Xico, and Xalapa are right around the corner for those wishing to extend the mystery of your tropical gambit…

November 8th through 20th - Our second Peru project in one year (talk about pushing your luck)!  Insult to injury - it’s a twofer ~ adventure begins in Lima (might I once again emphasize - our distribution portal is located only five blocks from our Hotel - very nice digs).  You may believe the location of our distribution site inconsequential - ha ~ I say, nay nay (veterans of Lima will resonate with memory of hour long + commutes through exhilarating Lima traffic)!   For those in the banging around business: we give you a day to bang around Lima following the distribution (some great restaurant options for you foodies) then off to Piura.  Piura is way up north (so we have another little jaunt by aeroplane here friends) by the Ecuador border.  Much adventure awaits our frisky patrons - for those inclined to a pilgrimage of sorts, this is Pope Bob country (Pope Leo’s last bishopric was next door in Chiclayo ~ which also boasts one of the most spacious and fully provisioned bruja markets on the planet - who woulda guessed)!

Hope Haven West appreciates and specializes in these “off the beaten track” distribution opportunities.  Everybody goes to the big cities (lots of services) - nobody goes to Piura!  But - we do…

Words of Appreciation:

Over the years, Hope Haven West has garnered a superior cast of beneficiaries (you know who you are)!  Overwhelming gratitude to California Zephyr, Paul and Karen Forakis, and all our friends and supporters who invested time and treasure in making this years “Birthday Bash” one of the most successful ever!  Full house - unbridled hootenanny - you're the best!
