TODAY'S SPEAKER
Kirk Milhorn
Kirk Milhorn was introduced by returning member Richard Walker. Kirk is presently the pastor at Calvary Chapel. He is also connected with the organization called Hearts and Souls on Maui. He talked of his many trips to Nepal, introducing us via pictures to Drew and his wife Goma who live outside Kathmandu, Nepal. They take in children who would otherwise have been sold as slaves or to brothels, and have 23 three children living with them now. Some living with them are young women who have acquired HIV and in need of medical help. Kirk is looking for funding for a van/ambulance needed to transport children to school, or hospital if needed.
Kirk travels to Nepal each year to talk to the Cardiac Society. He also helps evaluate the medical needs of children while there, and refers them to the USA for surgery when needed.
TODAY'S GUESTS
Also, back as members: Sally Dean from Halifax, and Richard Walker, and Suzan Wood. Sally Dean was asked what food Canada eats more of than any other country. The answer is Mac and Cheese. She was given a box of same!
THANKS TO RICHARD
Richard, who has brilliantly served our meetings all year, was presented with an envelope of tips from each of us.
