The Communications Group Lethbridge Ltd. has again generously loaned us the free use of 8 radio handsets which will enable each vehicle to communicate with all others in the convoy. Each set will need to be recharged overnight. The unfortunate truth is that not all drivers keep their handset turned on which leads to missed instructions. This type of error is the cause of much bantering at supper time. Drivers are not allowed to forget these errors.
Al Green, the locksmith, kindly checked out each lock and where necessary either made new keys or reworked the faulty existing keys so now we have two keys for each ignition and each door for all of the 8 vehicles.
Robert Lloyd of Impact Signs came out over a weekend to apply all the decals on the 8 vehicles so that everyone can easily see that this a Canadian and Mexican joint project.
Canadian Tire regularly donates rigid coolers, tool sets and road safety kits to the convoy. All these items are then donated in Mexico. Canadian Tire has donated rigid coolers, tool kits and roadside safety set for the convoys use and for onward donation in Mexico.
The Fire truck arrived and the goodies were loaded on.
The simple fact is that without the support of many businesses, the Los Amigos convoys would not depart Lethbridge and so ordinary Mexicans would needlessly suffer.
