Open Hearts, Open Minds


Eleven of the 15 folks who are making the trip to Israel and Jordan together gathered at Kathy Helliesen’s on Thursday evening, February 5, for delicious Middle Eastern food and great conversation about our hopes and dreams for the trip. Most everyone agreed that we wanted to go into the trip with both open hearts and open minds. Susan and Peter Purdy, friends of Patricia’s and Cynthia’s from New York, joined the group for the first time.
Thirteen of us are meeting at the airport on Monday at 1:30pm to check in for our 3:30pm Air France flight. This group includes Elizabeth Barkley, Charlotte Russell, Cynthia Lloyd, Janet Eadie, Katharine Kunst, Kathy Helliesen, Melissa Moss, Pat Cross, Peter and Susan Purdy, Becky Wright, Patricia de Jong, and Susan Cook Hoganson. Katherine Fulton will meet us in Paris for the flight to Amman. Maribeth de Jong, Patricia's sister from Chicago, will meet us in Amman.
