2024/2025 Seating Clinics- Dates Tentative

Orizaba was scheduled to be a walk in the park - assessment of warehouse and identifying wheelchairs and equipment that we plan to ship for projects in Southern Mexico scheduled in May (details below).  Our partners said, “Nay Nay” - and we ended up seating 60 disabled kids in Orizaba (Rotary partners in Orizaba - legendary in commitment to assist disabled poor in state of Veracruz).

March 22nd through 28th - Lima, Peru is teed up, tickets purchased, and team is ready to roll.  If you are interested in slipping in the back door on this project - do not dilly-dally (contact me today for information).   Lima is a stone cold trip (and the opportunity to extend your time in Peru include some bucket list options that are crying for you to check off your list).

GoFundMe page in memory of Mark Burden (volunteer extraordinaire and dearly missed part of Hope Haven West family) is still posted and receiving donations to fund the Lima, Peru project.  More than half way to their goal - get on the bus and help push us over the top…

May 17 through 31 - The Big One!  Southern Mexico - Merida, Villahermosa, Chiapas - caramba (not a place)!  Plan is to spend 18th through the 22nd in Merida (safest city in Mexico - really), fly on the 22nd to Villahermosa where the Rotary clubs hospitality is verging on ridiculous (people on diets are appointed special monitors).  Morning of the 25th a bus has been arranged for our team to be transported to Tuxtla Gutierrez, Chiapas (where our team will provide specialty wheelchairs for over 200 kids - most of which, this will be their very first wheelchair and opportunity for mobility).  Great trip - incredible partners - unforgettable adventure…

Save the Date - May 9th - The State Theater, Modesto - California Zephyr (last of the “Legends Series).

Not too late to get your logo on this fine poster (many thanks to all our sponsors who continue to fuel the incredible work that volunteers from Hope Haven West are engaged in).  

Tickets for California Zephyr are now available at the box office and at thestate.org

Not a night to miss - big X on that calendar today - May 9th.

Additional projects and travel/adventure opportunities with Hope Haven West are in the works - keep an eye for opportunities (we post as soon as plans crystalize and dates are secure).

Rockin’ in the free world,

Uncle Lonny
