New Immigration Office in Bucerias
Hola,
Apparently, immigration is going to open an office here in Bucerias.
It will be located on Ave. Las Palmas, next to the new copy/internet
place called Airdoggiecito. Reuben assures me that he will stock all
the necessary forms you might need for immigration issues. Let us
hope that this office is permanent. A few years ago, they opened one
here, moved it 3 or 4 times in as many months, then closed it and
returned to Tepic.
Eva's Brickhouse, Calle Galeana, Bucerias, is now open for breakfast,
lunch and dinner and is air conditioned. They are offering eggs, any
style, with hash browns, for 39 pesos; Eggs Benedict for 69 pesos;
all kind of omelets, juices, pancakes etc. For lunch, they now have
more salads and deli sandwiches, and, for dinner, they have added
Filet Mignon with Bearnaise Sauce and Surf and Turf, Filet Mignon and
sauteéd shrimp.
La Lomita, Agustin Melgar 22, Bucerias, has opened a sushi bar in the patio.
The Puerto Vallarta Jewish Community is making plans for the High Holy
Days!!
For the very first time, there are plans in process for celebrating
Rosh Hashanah
and Yom Kippur here, and other Jewish occasions as well. We have
been most fortunate in that the Chabad Head office and Rabbi Srugo
from Guadalajara
have offered to send back to us, the same two young Rabbis that
conducted our Passover services and songs. They will arrive from the
USA here before Rosh Hashanah, which is September 29 and conduct the
services of this Holyday and also Yom Kippur, which is October 8th.
For more information, contact Mel Bornstein, PV 322 221 5659 or US
cell 847 209 1448 or email: melbornstein@hotmail.com

Hola
Hola,
NAYARIT NETWORK BREAKFAST In Punta de Mita, Nayarit, May 16th.
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 (this is the
last reunion this season they will resume in September) the NAYARIT
NETWORK BREAKFAST will be held at a different venue in Nayarit.
Current plans are for Nuevo Vallarta, Bucerias, La Cruz, Punta de
Mita, Sayulita, and San Pancho. 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 for our fourth Network Breakfast, and
help make it a success. We look forward to meeting you! Here is the
information. Pass the word to your friends.
Friday, May 16, El Anclote Restaurant, Punta de Mita, 9:30 a.m.
Jalisco time, $90. Pesos (Breakfast & tip included) Hosted by
Elements Realty Group - Agent Connie Hollander, highlighting:
P.E.A.C.E which facilitates sustainable programs and nurtures
self-empowerment throughout Mexico by providing communities and
individuals with tools to improve their quality of life.
"Bring-A-Thing" Program Benefiting: P.E.A.C.E. Needs include: A
plant that does well in the sun for a community garden project, a new
or used garden tool, old jewelry, beads ribbon, tools, gule guns and
glue.
RSVP: Reservations required; deadline May 15th - 1 p.m. Respond to
Connie Hollander at cmh2148@aol.com Tel: 044-322-117-4434. You
should receive acknowledgement of your reservation.
After the breakfast, P.E.A.C.E. will be having their first Compost
Fair and Worm Sale. The time has come! The worms are ready for new
homes. Join them after the breakfast to tour the project and buy your
worms! Come tour even if you don't want to purchase. Prices are still
being determined. They will be in the range of $500 pesos a kilo.
There will be a spay/neuter clinic in Bucerias on May 14-16. I still
do not have the location. Sorry.
The Shamrock Irish Pub is now offering Texas Hold 'em on Monday nights
at 8. 10% of the proceeds are donated to Manos de Amor to help with
the construction of our orphanage.
The grey Isuzu pickup, with the Manos de Amor decals on the sides, was
donated by Tom and Saundra McCarthy. This is a wonderful help for
picking up bazaar donations and moving things for the orphanage.
Nothing better to cool down than the 2x1 beer promotion of May at Los
Amigos Taco Place, Camaron 27, Main Plaza of La Cruz de Huanacaxtle-
Mondays Closed.
A women's art exhibition opened on Friday, May 9th, at Los Mangos
Library on Francisco Villa in PV. It will be on display for two weeks.
This is also the location of the Saturday morning pet adoptions. The
address is Francisco Villa 1001.
The Navy League brought a group of volunteers to Bucerias on Saturday
to give the Bucerias Bilingual Cultural Center a new paint job. With
all the new shelves and tables made by Don Thompson, and now, new
paint, the center is looking good!
