Notes from April 11 Meeting

Thank you to everyone that was able to join us at our last Belize Missions meeting. Here's the highlights from our meeting:

• Sarah walked through a training session on being a missionary and the myths of poverty.
• All airline seats and dates are now locked in with American Airlines. Any changes now could result in a financial penalty.
• For seat reservations, we need date of birth and name on passport for everyone. If you have not given us this information, please do so.
• Health and medical information on Belize was presented – sleeping nets were also recommended.
• Latest budget was also presented.
• The second $500 (now totaling $1000) is due by April 18.
• All remaining funds are due by May 23.
• Construction projects have been posted to the blog.
• Family groups were also announced – each group was assigned a homework assignment to research and present at the next Belize meeting: Marc (History), Joyce (Economy), Jared and Sophie (Religion and Politics), Jeff and Becca (Culture).
