RESTAURANT RANT
I agree with all those who wrote regarding the gentleman who had a bad experience at a local restaurant. The solution is for you to continue to do what you do so well report on community events and share all the worthwhile information. The gentleman should take ownership and talk to the restaurant management himself rather than having other people do it for him. We all have had those experiences at one time or another. Thank you both for getting up so early every day and producing such a wonderful Newsletter I have looked forward to reading it every day since our friends in Rincon sent us your link .
Keep up the excellent work. We have 26 sleeps left before we visit your wonderful area.

Hi
To begin with I like your news and the way you have set it up.
After reading your editorial on restaurants I am surprised that anyone would write about 1 bad experience at one or that you would print it. After being in this area for many years I hear many complaints as well as many praises for most of them. This applies to the Mexican ones as well as the foreign ones. You will hear people say they don’t like this one because the food is too spicy yet the next person likes it, or it’s too expensive or the service is slow and it goes on. Remember that some people have patience and others don’t. With the varied views of people I think unless the food is really bad then don’t eat it and speak to management, If the service is really slow look around and see if there is a reason for it and if there is one have another drink and get over it. Give the businesses a little leeway and try again and if it doesn’t work don’t go back. Remember 1 complaint does not mean everyone feels the same way. Maybe you should just do the reviews as you have been doing and stay out of personal likes and dislikes by individuals and let the lady who does the reviews continue doing her job. After all she has an open mind and no favorites

100 NAKED GIRLS
When I saw a picture on the Jaltemba Bay Folk Board in November of 300 Barbies all dressed and ready to be given out by Robert and Vicky to the children of the area, I knew I wanted to help out with this worthy cause. Geri and Dawn have agreed that I can join them in crocheting little dresses for the Barbies.
I sent an email to my colleagues at Markham Stouffville Hospital and their generous response has been overwhelming. So far I have collected 112 Barbies and more are coming in every day.
We'll bring as many as we can pack in our suitcases and Skyservice has generously granted us an extra weight allowance free to bring the girls with us. My husband and I can hardly wait to meet Geri and Dawn in person when we deliver the Barbies. See you all soon!
