May 2026 Newsletter

I’m leaning on a travelin' song

Listening to a highway prayer

Gonna be a long time gone

If I ever make it there

Where the air is clear and the road is straight

All the choices have been made

I’ll keep rollin’ right along

Leaning on a travelin’ song…


Give it up for Billy Strings ladies and gentlemen (gotta get that guy for my Birthday Bash someday)!


Well - Ecuador, Ecuador - 220 wheelchairs - some happy kids (and families).  Incredible team consisting of Andrew and Tam Faulkner, Lonny and Lisa Davis, Wendy Massucco, Lois Gross, Hormuz Maragoul, Agustin Marin (from Quito, Ecuador) and - our ALEM compadres: Erik Friend, Mayra, Daniel, Julio and Carolina!  Hero’s one and all - honestly, if we were to have extracted any one of this platoon of dedicated volunteers - very different outcome…


Ecuador- 220 Wheelchairs!

Looking for a summer adventure?  Hope Haven West is engaged in unapologetic - full blown recruitment for the following projects:

August 3rd through 8th - Leon, Mexico -  Another distribution with our Rotary friends in the state of Guanajuato, trust me, our partners, Carlos and Company will just spoil you rotten with hospitality beyond the pale.  These boys are like the county fair (bigger and better every year).  Anticipate a day trip at project conclusion to the City of Guanajuato, extend with a whimsical weekend in San Miguel de Allende - opportunities abound.


September 15th through 27th - Malindi, Kenya - Not often we find digs in a resort on the water - this is one of those times - living in the lap of luxury - and…and (drum roll) what say we front load a THREE DAY SAFARI?  Who does this stuff anyway?  The kids in Kenya - cherubs (either that or these photographers have mastered incredible back lighting).  Cute kids, resort living, lions, tigers and bears - Oh No.  Jump on the bus (range rover) this one will fill up fast!


October 12th through 18th - Orizaba, Mexico - Ground Zero for Hope Haven Mexico - partners here have set the gold standard for hospitality - I suspect they are in direct competition with the Guanajuato contingency - it’s neck and neck.  This is a cool little town - river runs through it - urban zoo on banks with gondola floating above the attractions.  Stories will be told…


Hear ye, Hear ye - do not purchase flights without checking in with Uncle Lonny.  Due to the irregularities in the global fuel markets - Hope Haven West is rolling the dice and delaying purchase of travel for another month.  Total gamble on our part here folks, we are just hoping that our flights do not include a fuel premium - we’re willing to make that bet (fingers crossed)

Save the Date - June 26th - Paul Thorn at The State Theater -Tickets available now!  Click on the poster below to purchase tickets.

Do not be counted among the slackers who delay purchasing your Paul Thorn tickets and miss out on an enchanted evening due to sloth and negligence.  Nay Nay - avoid the outer darkness and come to the light - tickets now available thestate.org or from the box office.

  

This is just a fun show - don’t miss out…


Waging Heavy Peace,


Uncle Lonny
