The flight tickets have arrived and the excitement mounts.  We leave at Sept. 30, 10:20 in the morning from Regina via Toronto (1.5 hour layover) and 7.5 hours and a few more time zone changes later into Dusseldorf, Germany Saturday at 6 AM. Just 40 minutes to change planes and another 1.5 hours flying and a reversal of a time zone lands us in Manchester at 7:15 AM where our English adventure will begin. The finalized itinerary which we received a few days ago is so detailed and complete. Many thanks to GSE Chair John Sayer and his District 1210 cohorts.
      I received the 1210 DG's Newsletter describing the keynote speakers for the Oct. 14-16 Conference. I am looking forward to hearing and possibly meeting Tom Henderson, Shelterbox's founder. Our District 5550 is heavily involved in the Canadian arm of the Shelterbox effort.
     It will be a great 4 weeks.    Team Leader,  Dave.

The team had a great weekend in Neepawa August 12 - 14. We prepped our presentation and thanks to Ivan the TV Guy we have our first run of it on DVD with professional green screen technology. The pressure was on for us to do a good job and the Team came through with flying colours. This morning we will make the presentation to the Rotary and Inner Wheel Clubs of Neepawa.  I will try to upload a picture of us after the presentation.

Captain Dave.
