This Week's Meeting
Our Last Week at Le Meridien This Week ... Next Week We Move to AC Hotel/Bar Peri
Join us this Friday at Le Meridien for one last meeting there, then reset your navigation system for September 1 to the AC Hotel's Bar Peri on the top floor. It's not far at all from LeMeridien - set your navigation for AC Hotel by Marriott, Atlanta Perimeter, 40 Perimeter Center Place NE, Atlanta GA 30346. We met there for our first meeting in July and our Mardi Gras Thirsty Thursday earlier this year.
This Week's Speakers
Susan and Bruce Keenan, Himalayan Children's Charities
Join us at LeMeridien this Friday to welcome Susan and Bruce Keenan and hear about the work they have been doing in Nepal. Part of their future work there is tied to a Global Grant from The Rotary Foundation that we are planning to help support. Note that this will be our last meeting at LeMeridien (see story above).
In 1999, after a trip trekking in Nepal, Bruce, and his wife Susan, began sponsoring the education of two orphaned sisters in Kathmandu. Soon they were sponsoring two more children, then four, then eight, and Himalayan Children’s Charities (HCC) was founded. Bruce believes that every child, regardless of the circumstances they were born into, deserves an education and the opportunity to live a fulfilled life, and HCC was established with that philosophy. HCC provides quality education, innovative mentorship and nurturing care to orphaned, abandoned and disadvantaged children in Nepal. With Bruce at the helm, over the last 22 years HCC has directly supported 540 children and helped over 10,000 through various outreach projects.
