- Meeting with WQA very positive. The meeting with Peter Censky and Margit Fotre was better than expected. Peter Censky commended the work done to date by WWIF and vows to mention the Foundation and its purpose at his lecture at the upcoming WQA Annual Convention. Robert Hague, President of the WQA, offered the Foundation a booth at the upcoming Exhibition in San Antonio, however due to such short notice the Foundation elected to be featured at H2O International’s booth (Booth No. 615) and at KDF Fluid Treatment’s booth (Booth No. 906). Guillermo Guzman, WWIF founder and CEO, will be at booth 615 to answer any questions regarding the Foundation and its work. Issa and Denise Al-Kharusy will be promoting the Foundation and its work at KDF Fluid Treatment’s booth.
- City of Lighthouse Point, Florida agrees to hold a Fundraiser for WWIF. The Lighthouse Point Tennis Center and the Lighthouse Point Yacht and Racket Club will be hosting a Chili Cook Off and Round Robin Tennis Tournament to benefit the Foundation on April 30th. The Round Robin will be played at both locations and will start at 4 pm followed by the Cook Off at 6:30 pm. at the Tennis Center. There will be music, food, live auctions, silent auctions, raffles and more. To promote the fundraiser WWIF and the Tennis Center joined the Keepers Parade on February 12 and will be participating in other events prior to the April 30th date.
- WWIF prepares for the upcoming WQA show. In preparation for the show the Foundation updates its website, develops a new brochure and orders promotional items to be used at the show. A small water well representing a wishing well will be displayed at H2O and KDF’s booths. Attendees will be able to make donations or sign up to become sponsors of the Foundation at the show. The new WWIF logoed stainless steel bottle will be introduced at the show and the first 100 donors with a minimum suggested donation of 10 dollars or more will be able to take the souvenir bottle.
- WWIF looks to send help to Haiti. The Foundation is busy searching for a Non-Profit to work with in Haiti. Logistics have been a challenge in Haiti and once the Foundation finds the right partner, it will send Biosand filters to be distributed to families affected by the earthquake of 2010. Haiti has had thousands die due to a Cholera outbreak from contaminated water.
