Full speed ahead

We held our first official Cinco De May meeting today at Coral Beach Realty. Cullen, Francis, Vernon, Fred, Paul and I were able to accomplish great things in a relatively short time.

Our second meeting will be tomorrow (Tuesday) 12 pm at Wet Willy's for anyone who is interested in volunteering or making donations please feel free to stop by.

We are still looking for bands, donations for auction, raffle and yard sale, volunteers for day of the event - please contact School office 226-3456

I will leave you with a good example of how business is often done in San Pedro. After our meeting we were talking outside Coral Beach Realty and spotted we all called ambush on Chris from Casa Picasso - Vernon talked to him sealed the deal.

Hold a meeting

Step outside and see someone on your list

Ummm, what happened on May 5th in Belize? It's funny but in California they celebrate Cinco de Mayo like a big Mexican holiday, it's lots of fun, parades etc. Here in Mexico (I live in Merida) it isn't even a holiday. If you ask anyone they tell you it was the battle of Puebla, and is celebrated there. I think some people from Puebla must of immigrated to California and convinced everyone it was a big Mexican holiday. Isn't that great? But we have enough other holidays to make up for it.

Theresa what happened on May 5th in Belize is last year is a local band member stepped up to help solve a problem at Holy Cross the school we volunteer at.

So we decided due to the timing of his offer, we would claim Cinco De Mayo for our annual Holy Cross School fundraiser.

This year's party promises to be bigger and better.

It is actually gaining popularity as a party theme - one of my party planning books gives it a mention listed as a Mexican national holiday celebrated with Music Food and Dancing.

oh, how cool, I love events that start out that way. I hope your fund raiser just gets better and better. I remember that my son's elementary school (which had a huge parent volunteer base) used to have a several events that just got huge as the whole community participated.

Help Save Bacalar Chico

-
According to 7News Belize, the Government of Belize is planning to 'De-Reserve' at least 3,000 acres of the Bacalar Chico Marine & Wildlife Reserve in Northern Ambergris Caye, and sell the land to developers. According to reports, the deal is all but done. Residents of Ambergris Caye are being urged to come together and protest this issue. It is also very important for non residents of Belize to support this issue. Many of you have fallen in love with Ambergris Caye and keep coming back for more. Please help us make it known how we feel about the preservation of Marine and Wildlife Reserve area of Bacalar Chico. If you are not in Belize and want to take a stand against the sale and de-reserve of Bacalar Chico land please leave a comment with your first and last name and where you are from and I will put together a master list. This is important issue and we welcome your support. Bacalar Chico comprises a 15,000-acre marine reserve and 12,000 acres of terrestrial reserve

The 4 - Hour work week Escape 9 - 5 Live Anywhere And Join The New Rich Timothy Ferris A short while ago, Alan told me this is one book I should be reading so I followed his advice and found a copy on eBay - tacoboy even called next in line to read it. I have not read chapter 1 yet and can already say I am sure many of you would be inspired by this book - good for airplane reading - you might even even find a copy for sale while waiting for your flight. Yesterday I got my green highlighter out and started reading the introduction, highlighting the good bits as I went a long - below are some parts that stood out for me - I feel like this book will definitly add a few more pieces to the puzzle. From using Jedi Mind tricks to disappear from the office to designing businesses that finance your lifestyle, there are paths for every comfort level. Live Life Large - instead of postponing it. The objective is to create freedom of time and place and use both however you want. I'm excited. I
