FFI 2019 International Conference

Every member of our club is invited to the International Conference in Boulder Colorado next year: July 23-27, 2019. Club members from around the world will be attending and it will be an opportunity for our club to represent Friendship Force New Mexico and build relationships for future international travel. The committee is asking for individuals who are interested in attending the conference to host 3-4 day pre or post journeys for people from around the world to see our unique land. This is an option and not mandatory to attending the World Conference. If you are interested in attending or hosting please send me an email and I will forward our numbers to the organizers. As details become available, I will send them to our club members. In Friendship, Mark Vaughan

Here’s a highlight from what Rick wrote: Friendship Force (www.friendshipforce.org): This nonprofit focuses on person-to-person exchanges, with locals welcoming travelers into their homes. Each one- to three-week program includes fun experiences, such as learning to make traditional lavash bread in Armenia, visiting historic Brazilian fishing villages or tobogganing on sand hills in Australia’s Hunter Valley.
