Los Amigos de La Peñita
Jan. 23 Meeting was held at Hotel California at 4:00 PM. Next Meeting on Jan. 30, Tuesday at 4:00 PM at Hotel California
Water Committee report: Martha, Eddie and Mark went to Compostela on Monday to present our letter and 188 signatures to Marco Antonio Moreno Vengas, Municipal President of Compostela. After a brief meeting, Marco invited us back on Wednesday for a private meeting to discuss the issues contained in the letter. For a report on this meeting with Marco, attend our next meeting on Jan. 30 at 4:00 PM at Hotel California.
George (Calif. Hotel) explained that Jorge Rubio from SIAPA will give amnesty to all unpaid past due accounts. It is necessary for the unpaid accounts to individually make the request for amnesty when they pay their 2007 water/sewer fee.
Bob Gibbs produced a pamphlet in English and Spanish that explains the purpose of Los Amigos so it will be easier to introduce ourselves to the Mexican residents of La Peñita and encourage their participation in our organization. This pamphlet will also be posted at various locations throughout La Peñita so all residents will become familiar with our organization and know the time and place of our meetings.
Each person at the meeting was asked to donate 50 pesos to establish a fund for miscellaneous expenses-- $850.00 Pesos were collected. So far, all expenses have been donated to our organization but as we grow, we will need a contingency fund for expenses.
It was decided to hold meetings on the second and forth Tuesday of every month but until we have dealt with all issues, we will continue to meet on a weekly basis.
Agenda for the Jan. 30 meeting: 1. Water Committee report on meeting with Marco. 2. Additional committees will be formed for Security, for Garbage and for Fund Raising. 3. How to effectively deal with the Security Issue in La Peñita for residents and business.
Mark and Eddie will not be able to attend this meeting so George and Karen will conduct this meeting.
4th MARGARITA CHALLENGE 2007
I, (Sue Moss) will be at Soley's Restaurant, courtesy of Daniel, from 9:00am until close today, Thursday Jan 25th. I will have tickets for sale and be ever so happy to take those silent auction items off your hands. So while perusing our wonderful market please be thinking about what might bring a few bucks to the cause....or bring something creative you may have in mind. I will be passing out flyers to those willing to post them in areas unassigned by Tom P and also to distribute at Tiangues.
For those that do not know me I will be wearing a black polo shirt with the Hacienda del Mar logo in bright yellow. And probably pretty wired on cappuccinos...
Another way to help is to go out to eat at your favorite restaurants and ask if they are willing to donate a dinner for 2 or 4. Email me at shmoss@mac.com and I will take it from there. All I need is a yes and a dollar value. There is no need for them to worry about actual certificates. I will create them and I will confirm all offers before submission to the silent auction.
We will submit a listing of all donors of money, items, and auction winners in the Express after the event.
This is such a generous community and much is asked of you. This challenge is a hoot! Buy a ticket and join the fun even if you are not in a position to donate this time around.
Thank you Jaltemba Bay! - Sue Moss (MC Chair 2007) 274-2540 shmoss@mac.com
