All,
I just received the following from Doug Rhodes. Doug is planning on
being at the regional and is looking for help from cavers for toys for
Tarahumara kids in Mexico. If you've got anything you could bring for Doug,
I'm sure he (and the kids) would appreciate it.
Begin forwarded message:
> I've one minor problem, perhaps you could help me. Over the past 17 or so
> years we have hosted an annual Christmas morning piñata party for Tarahumara
> children eventually giving out toys to over 100 kids who might otherwise get
> nothing for Christmas. No matter the weather, these kids and their families
> walk out of the mountains for this event, some of them hiking 3 hours.
> Because of the downturn in tourism this year, we have nothing to give and no

the safe harbor. Catch the trade winds in your sails. Explore. Dream. Discover."
