Dan Heizenrater gave a wonderful introduction to our speakers Sue & Greg Jones, who described their participation in the Water Filter distribution in the Puerto Vallarta area supported by our Club through our Vision Committee process.
Sue began with an overview of the Puerta Vallarta area – the beach, the mountains, the jungle – and described the areas she and Greg visited to distribute water filters. The American and Canadian contingent participants of this program have been led for the past 10 years by Ken Reiser of the West Chester/Liberty, Ohio Rotary Club assisted by his wife Kathy and they have distributed over 5,000 water filters.
