Brother Knights, The cutoff date for this report is earlier than usual because of needing to report the numbers at the Texas State Convention. Attached is the report of the Wheelchair Mission Donations by Diocese and Council received as of April 27th.
100 is the number of wheelchairs our council will provide for disabled children at the CRIT Center in La Paz, Mexico as a result of our fundraising drive for the American Wheelchair Mission. The official number was 99, but a few moments ago I received a phone call from brother SK Art Senato, pledging to donate 1 more chair.

Since it is estimated that each wheelchair delivered changes and improves an average of 10 lives, they will make an immediate impact in the lives of 980 people.
