IT IS FINISHED !!! WELL ALMOST

We finally poured the concrete floor on top of the last water tower and the following day, a few strong backs hoisted the tank onto a trailer and then up onto the tower.WHEW, that was no easy chore, but it saved us renting a crane. The concrete needs to cure for several weeks before we can fill the tank, but Omero will connect all the pipes and have everything ready when the time comes. Fill it to soon and the weight could cause a disaster. The entire water project cost was $9934.00 out of the $10,000.00 we raised last summer while traveling around the Midwest. This years travels and fundraising will have us focused on funds to equip the new trade school and support for younger children to attend elementary and high school. Paula and I are trying to prepare to leave for our annual trip to Chicago and there is so much to do. We are trying to get a news letter out, but maybe we'll hand deliver them. We need to have about 9 thousand pounds of beans and rice in Mexico so Roy and Rebecca can handle the monthly food hand out. We hope to buy 400 bottles of cooking oil today to have on hand as well. Heat index of 115 today and no end in sight to the early heat, which has us thinking about the cool midwest. On July 8th at 11:30am at Moraine Valley Church in Palos Heights, IL, we will host a luncheon in room 101. All are invited and pass the word, because the news letter we are trying to get out is not going very well. Computer problems again! We might have a letter, but no photos.
