We had a great time at Minden’s Canada Day…  The Raft Race was exciting; Bob and Johanna Penfold, Paul Heffer and Jenn Watt were instrumental in getting the raft river ready.Toos just mentioned we finish 3rd…..no prize for 3rd but we had a lot of fun…and we did not fall into the river…bonus. Canada day was a great day in Minden. When we took the pics of the HAVE booth it was early in the day…but later it was busy…2-3,000 people. Diane and Tom Dawson did an awesome job at promoting HAVE at the booth meeting with many people. Thank you Tom, Ryan and Diane. What an wonderful week for HAVE Ron and Toos

The returns of the sponsorship funds were especially encouraging. Monies are still slowly coming in (July 2nd). We remain very hopeful that our annual goal of 10 more new wells for very needy villagers in India will be reached.
