3/10/02—CAMBODIA MEETING

 

 

Introducing youth to the team–Joel, Steph, and Stephanie.  Kathy Dunwoody is a new member of the Cambodia Team also.

 

Ken and Dalai reported on flight options:

 

*First team leaves on Thursday, December 26th through the 12th of January

*Second team leaves Thursday, January 2nd through the 19th.

*Both teams will be there from January 5th through the 9th together.  During this time, the    teams will most likely eat in town.  This time will also be the time that team members    can make excursion trips if they wish.  Traveling to other churches is not part of the   excursion time.

 

China Airlines may be the best, so far, on price at $1100.  Ken is working on getting more prices from other airlines.

 

Ken is also working on flight insurance quotes

 

The thought is that everyone will spend 1 night in Bangkok on the way there and 2 nights on the way back

 

Fund Raisers: The Silent Auction is our biggest fund-raising event.

 

*Betsy Keyack, John and Sharon Williams sent 214 letters requesting donations from businesses, which included 60 companies that donated last year.  They requested volunteers to call to follow up on gifts.  Marie will be keeping the Auction items.
