Pat Dimeck brought us up to date with the Shoebox program.  She described how our funds were used in Nogales and Agua Prieta, Mexico and the initiatives of the Shoebox team to ensure sustainability.  Pat discussed the need for funds for backpacks, school supplies, warm clothing and blankets to the children in these areas of Mexico.  Pat noted that she will also be applying for a matching grant as well.  Her next trip will be in April /2013 and was encouraged by all the positive discussions around this project.
