ANOTHER SUCCESSFUL TECATE, MX HOUSE BUILD

The  April 9th house build in Tecate was great.  Our lead builders, Tom and Nancy, along with Pete and Mike kept us on track.  We built a house with a bathroom and were finished by 4 pm.  The weather was cool and cloudy, perfect conditions, and it didn't start raining until after we crossed back over the border into California.  Some of us enjoyed a Tecate Beer in the hotel parking lot afterwards, and almost everyone attended the festive dinner at Por Favor Mexican restaurant afterwards.  There were no problems with the project and everyone but Tom Lake from South Pasadena had their passports crossing the border.  I understand he groveled and humbly apologized for being dumb when confronted by the immigration officer at the border and they took pity on him and let him back into the country. 

 

Kathy Watson from South Pasadena took over 900 photos and will put together a program and send it to both clubs. 

 

Thanks to everyone who participated in making this joint Mammoth Lakes-South Pasadena project a success.  A special thanks to Johanna Bishop from Bishop for once again leading the Bishop Interact contingent.  Finally, a huge thank you to Pat Hayes, ably assisted by Cynthia, for putting all of this together.
