Abaco Islands Project

Here's the latest news from Donna:

SIFE is beginning again…..!!! Welcome to newcomers on our list….

Some exciting news…Barry, Stephanie, Samantha Peacock and I are off to the Abaco islands in July to set up a FCSIFE program. It will involve creating a retail, wholesale business with the islanders and establishing a Market. It also may involve setting up training programs to help the residents learn service trades so they can obtain jobs in the new hotels and resorts that are being planned for the islands. Shuffle if you’re interested in working with us on this project, let us know. Julie has an opportunity to go to Ghania this summer to work in an orphanage for two weeks. She is going to do a SIFE program there…so we will have the beginning of some global influence.

I hope everyone is having a great summer. We are looking forward to a year that is fun, successful and beneficial to the people and communities that we help.

My best,

Donna

In addition, the dates are out for the annual Walgreens Training Conference. On October 6, our Regional Conference is at the University of North Florida in Jacksonville.

Don't forget the SIFE World Cup 2007 - October 10 through 12 in New York, New York.

Hope everyone's summer is going well so far!!
