Wayne,
As you know we supply $50 Water Filter Systems. If we can work this
out we can supply Cruz Blanca. We are not in a position to analyze
what is the best system for them. My feeling is that if they can get
the water, our system can clean it.
If that is OK with their President and your Rotary Club accepts the
position of the International Sponsor, I will try to work things out.
I will try to get the Host Sponsor lined up.
How can we contact this President. Does he have an e-mail address
besides a phone?
George
