Return to Parana scope for
Four years later, Justin Brugger and Doug Risser returned to Parana, Brazil, along with D6540 Past Distrct Governor Floyd Lancia, from September 1-7, 2010.
The visit came from a desire to reconnect with Brazilian friends as well as to view a new project, an endoscopy scope for a cleft palette surgical program in Londrina. Nalini da Costa from Arapongas graciously made all our arrangements including for hosting in homes, visits to projects, and social time. When we chose the date, we did not realize that much of Brazil would be closed down for a long holiday week with Brazilian Independence Day on Tuesday, September 7.
We flew down to Brazil from Fort Wayne to Atlanta to Sao Paulo on Delta and connected to TAM into Londrina where Nalini and a friend met us and took us to her home to rest shower and then proceed that evening to a meeting of the Arapongas Rotary Club. We were honored guests and presented there with a certifiace signed by all the club members of both the Arapongas Rotary Club and the Rotary Club Beixa Flor. We also did the formal exchange of club banners. Perhaps Justin can post pictures.
Watch for updates.
