Around the World: Belize will be featured on Wednesday, March 5 at 5 p.m. In November 2024 as the weather reports were predicting Hurricane Sara was headed to the coast of Belize, Candy Dooper and her intrepid fellow travelers threw caution to the wind, literally, and chose to follow through with their tropical vacation plans. Dooper will share experiences from her weeklong trip along with the history, culture and attractions, including the Belize Barrier Reef and Mayan ruins, of this tiny Central American country. Plan to attend.
