Progress with Mary Carrillo

I've gotten to know Mary Carrillo over the last year through Cannon Training and we've decided to combine efforts. Right at this very moment our emphasis will be on helping kids and their schools in a village in Belize. Mary and I have discussed different options including becoming part of the Heritage Foundation. Mary has been making trips to Belize for some time now and she is a seasoned traveller, having visited dozens of countries. Here is the rough draft list of items requested for Mary's trip in August.

First meeting with John Gill, former board member, Coastal Community Foundation

Great meeting at Taco Fresh, Vista-

John shared some of his experiences with CCF and I definitely saw enthusiasm on his part for speaking with groups of schoolkids and distributing checks. He has some great ideas for fundraising that play off of my Living Loan book program. He also knows some non-profit attorneys. I hope I can find a way to really take advantage of all he brings to the table. He's an authentic person with practical experience in this realm. I must always remember to at least bounce ideas off him.
