Lisa says,
The leadership team is working hard to put together our 2010 mission trip schedule. The only trip we have confirmed so far is our trip to the Gulf Coast. That trip is planned for May 24-29. This will be our 4th year working with the Mississippi Gulf Coast HfH affiliate. They are excited to have us return. We hope more of our college age missioners will be able to join us, those who have attended in the past have had a great time.
We are exploring options for the high school missioners (and of course college age and adults) for the week of June 27. Although the last day of school is technically June 16, we need to take into account potential snow make up days. We haven't set the date for our annual information meeting but it will probably be late January or early February. Once we narrow down our options, we'll be making some scouting trips to the potential locations and then we'll decide where to go and present it to you at the annual meeting.
We are also considering some local opportunities in addition to our spring and fall Arc projects. We are talking with the Episcopal Housing Corporation about joining their work in Baltimore. To grow our local effort, we will need some additional adult volunteers for leadership roles as our current leadership team is spreading itself pretty thin.
