During the last year, Charlie Dittmeier was elected to the Board of Directors of the Maryknoll Lay Missioners.  The board has three meetings a year, one online (February) and two at Maryknoll Lay Missioners headquarters in Ossining, New York.  The second meeting is June 16-18 and Charlie went back to the US early to speak in a parish in Pennsylvania the weekend before the meeting.  On the way he stopped in Bangkok for a medical exam.
