We're ready to eat! That didn't happen, however, as business took up the first TWO hours of the THREE hour meeting!
Rotary Exchange students show off their travel pins.
It's almost time to start!
Even in Mexico there is time for "Happy Dollars" (or would that be "Happy Pesos?"

Glenn and Miss Rotary, San Cristobal
The Club prepares for a group photo for the upcoming District Conference - in CANCUN!
OK, ladies, let's get going! (Notice the Rotary Uniforms!)
This is like herding cats!
OK, we can't see everyone's face.
At last, one for the display.
The San Cristobal Club invited their guests to go with them to deliver some Rotary Wheelchairs, purchased with grant money.
What's wrong with this picture?
Yes, turnabout is fair play. The Americans do all the work.
The first recipient was usually carried around in a plastic lawn chair.
Off to recipient number 2.
12 year old Juan was in an accident and can't use his legs.
That smile makes it all worth while.
Juan's Mom expresses her gratitude for the new chair.
A look out over San Cristobal as we head for the next house.
It's sort of like a parade! Check out the guy on top of the house in the upper left corner.
This ladies house was so small only two of us could get in at the time.
Because of her condition, it's been months since she's been out of this little room.
It wouldn't be a trip without a little shopping time in one of San Cristobal's open markets.
