Deanna Shoss - Presidente Illinois São Paulo

Dear Fabio, Junia, Violeta, Rosangela, Eduardo, Rosangela and Carmen,

It was wonderful to meet with you last night.  In the world of international exchange, there is still nothing better than meeting face to face.

It was exciting to hear of your projects and strategic vision.  Junio, I look forward to share your very detailed and impressive strategiocumc plan and organizing document with the Illinois Board at our July Board meeting.  Thank you for sending it.  Violeta, the Dia Global de Voluntarios Jovems project looks incredible.  I have no idea how we could replicate something in Illinois, but we look forward to receiving your proposal.

Thank you for your ideas on potential sponsors for MOSTRA II.  As promised, upon my return to Chicago I will send the sponsorship materials for translation to send to companies in Brazil.  Donations can be made online on our website, at http://www.illinois-saopaulo-partners.org/.  Thank you for making this joint project be successful.
Fabio, thanks for following up with Marcelo to complete the Grant application for the $1.99 Real Housing project.  We are excited to see this project moving forward. It is one that many people in our chapter are interested in.

Thanks, too, Rosangela, for your interest in the JAPER anti-racism project for 2012.  Carmen and Violeta also had great ideas, and thank you for your interest in working on this.

Finally, thanks, Fabio for the films.  I hope that we can coordinate to get the final two films to Marcelo to send to Drea, to bring back.

Family is calling, so I need to run, but just wanted to say how wonderful it was to meet.  We look forward to scheduling a joint meeting via Skype for September.

Abracos!

Deanna
