Hello to the Chennai Team! Glad to hear that you left snowy Toronto safely. I think you'll all be having 3 shower days, while in torrid Chennai. I wish you all success in the distributions. Smiles and laughs will be your reward from the children. Mary Jo, start the supper tradition from Kolkata!
best wishes from Margaret,

Hi Chennai Team and Tom Belton, Glad to see you have arrived safe and sound and will be off onto your mission. We are having marvelously bad weather here in the Pittsburgh area and am looking forward to summer. Hope you will have a minute to enjoy the Super Bowl, everyone here is all excited of course because of our beloved Steelers.
God Bless you all.

Way to Go, Tom and Chennai Team 2009!! Sounds like you are off to a great start with your Avadi Distribution. You are in our prayers for a super successful time bringing relief to impoverished families and their children, and for a wonderful experience with the Rotarians of India's fascinating culture.

Congratulations one and all for a job well done. I was so sorry not to be part of the team this year but maybe next year I will get a chance??? What a thrill to be part of the Murray Dryden celebration - it must have been very moving. What an amazing man of vision!!!
