Program:
Salvador Rico and Mike Pastryk talked about “Hands on Cleanup Projects” near Guadalajara, Mx. Oct. 1-3 and Oct. 1-9 (see attached flyer).
They spoke of the efforts to reduce/eliminate pollution of the Rio Ameca river outside Tlaquepaque, Mx. which flows through Puerto Vallarta and into the Pacific which ultimately can affect our own beaches and the fish we eat.
Their primary goal is to prevent cancer in children caused by the pollution. They have received a Global Grant from RI to aid in their efforts.
Leah “rolled the dice” for the pot (prez John forgot the football helmets and the 2 giant dice were all that was available in the cabinet . But, alas, she did not succeed in rolling a “7”; so the pot continues to grow.
