Good afternoon everyone...
Today we sent out the first batch of written invitations (by snail
mail) to the Conference on Honduras 2004. The second batch will go
out within two weeks.
If you would like to receive a written invite, or know of someone who
would, please e-mail me the information at hondopost.....com.
I am hoping to send out 750-1,000 invitations in all. This would be
about twice as many as we mailed out last year.
This will be the fifth consecutive annual Conference on Honduras. It
will be the second straight Conference in Copan Ruinas. Last year's
event attracted more than 310 individuals representing over 110
organizations, universities, companies, agencies, and churches.
The Conference will take place on Thursday, Friday, Saturday and
Sunday (half day) ... October 21, 22, 23, and 24. It will be held at
the Municipal Conference Center, across from the central plaza.
If we need additional meeting space, we'll see about reserving some
smaller conference rooms at some of the hotels in town.
Plans are for the "hospitality suite" reception to be sponsored by
Honduras' Institute of Tourism. It will likely be held at the McCaw
Mountain Bird & Nature Reserve, pending final discussions with the
facility's owners. See www.macawmountain.com
Our wonderful planning team in Copan Ruinas is still in place. It is
led by Sandra Guerra of Casa de Todo and Maya Connections
(www.copanhonduras.org/subsites/shopping/mayaconn/mayaconn.htm) and
Carin Steen of Copan Pinta (www.projecthonduras.com/copanpinta).
The Conference will be presented by projecthonduras.com. It will be
sponsored by Special Missions Foundation (www.specialmissions.org) of
Georgetown, TX. I will be working hand in hand with my wife,
Barbara, and with our excellent partners Sandra Romero de Thompson
and Jerry Thompson of Special Missions.
