A group of folks who have been planning the July Guatemala mission trip and those going met Wednesday evening in Pastor Jane’s office. Ana and Andrea both signed on to the mission team. Apparently a very modest crowd will gather for a follow-up task force meeting Saturday morning, when Carlos, Nora, and Ana (among others) will not be able to be there (so no phone call). The group talked about soliciting sponsorships – giving people Guatemala cards, one each with a name of a Guatemalan person going (Carlos will try to call Gerardo later this week to get names), as the name of the person that the Crescent Hill person is sponsoring. (On Mother's Day Sunday Claudia will be involved, and on the next Sunday, May 16, Andrea will be involved. Laras will write names on cards and Perry will provide some props.) The group also brainstormed about other fund-raising possibilities, including tabling with Guatemalan food and information about our partnership as part of one or more Frankfort Avenue/Crescent Hill-related events. No follow-up trip group meeting scheduled yet. Also discussed were some other individual preparation issues. The group also spent some time talking about what Coban was like, discussing Ana’s decision to go, and reassuring Andrea about her then possible participation.
