Discover Nayarit Summer Update

Hola,

Yesterday, we received the results from the Altruism Festival which
was held on May 25th. Total income for the festival was nearly
$600,000 pesos. Estimated attendance was 1900. Each of the 24
participating charities received $24,320 pesos. This money is to be
used for construction, supplies, furnishings, etc. It is not for
administrative costs. Recipients in the North Bay are Manos de Amor
por Bahia (the orphanage), Biblioteca Rey Nayar (children's library),
The Friendship Club of La Cruz, and PEACE (which does spay/neuter
clinics and other community projects).

I have had an enquiry about Catholic churches in the Nuevo Vallarta
area. Does anyone know if there are any and where they are located?

We have had rain, off and on, for the past two weeks. Helps to cool
things a bit but also has brought out those pesky mosquitoes.

Stay cool, wherever you are.
