We did it again! The fourth Rhythm 'n Ribs brought in over $100,000
pesos and there is still money coming in. And, yes, we ran out of
food again. But the entertainment was great. The volunteers, and
there were many of them, worked very hard. As always, they are the
key to the success of this event. Construction of the orphanage is
progressing well. So many people have expressed an interest in
helping that I am sure the building will be finished quickly. A big
thank you to all who participated in Rhythm 'n Ribs. See you again
next year.
The U.S. Consular Agency Vallarta, in conjunction with Community
Service projects in Nayarit, is sponsoring a monthly NAYARIT BREAKFAST
NETWORK. Open to English speaking men and women, the objective is to
highlight various community service projects throughout Nayarit and
promote networking between residents, frequent visitors, and local
businesses. It will provide the opportunity to enrich our lives by
making new friends, learning about the various projects in our
communities, and meeting people from different walks of life. Each
month the Nayarit Breakfast Network will be held at a different venue
in Nayarit. Current plans are for Nuevo Vallarta, Bucerias, La Cruz,
Punta de Mita and Sayulita. A service project will be highlighted and
a "Bring-A-Thing" project each month will be the opportunity for
participants to bring needed supplies for that month's highlighted
organization. Please join us as we kick off this effort, and help make
it a success. We look forward to meeting you!
