Need to know if Starband satellite for internet is still working in
the Baja. We've heard they are moving to another satellite, but we
have requested to stay where we are. Anyone having trouble with
Starband? What else can be used for internet connection besides 3G?
Our cellular is iffy where we are located. We are headed south in a
month or so and are trying to get communications organized. Thanks
for any help! Steve

Regarding Immigration (Migracion) at Tecate border crossing.
Yes you may park just past the crossing gate at the Mexican border
so you can get your FM- Stamped, but it is a tight turn and if the
spots are taken you will have to look around town to park and walk
back. You do not want to do this first time or ever if possible.
Just to the right BEFORE THE GATE There are two or three 30 Minute
parking spots for your convenience while doing activities at the
border. Park here, walk through gates and enter the Aduana/Migracion
building. It is the only building on the right/ Go right inside to
Migraciom. I believe that it is open every hour that the border
crossing is open. Check your travel guide or AAA for hours. You can
walk back through the gates to your car and drive through gates.
Very fast and pleasant/ If all parking is occupied you can wait at
the parking lot until one is open. don't park here to do your
business with Migracion. Not much wait, no one wants to vacation at
the border.

UVERDE Rummage Sale November 17th to raise funds for our non profit
organization (location to be defined)
This is a great opportunity to clean out those closets and cabinets
and donate your "extra stuff" to be sold for a great cause!!!
Please drop off the "goods" at La Casa de Vos, in the reception area
for Vos en Construction.
UVERDE is dedicated to increasing awareness and helping our
community take care of our beautiful environment.
Current projects include:
1. "Clean up Los Barriles", this event takes place twice a year: Mid
November to show community spirit and prepare for the Fiestas de
Noviembre and again in April to celebrate Earth Day with the Rotary
Club
2. Local businesses and individuals "adopt" an area to maintain
litter free
3. Educational Programs in the local primary school. This year we
hope to add the secondary school as well as preparatoria. During the
2008-2009 school year a group of fifth graders produced the
following slogan: THE FUTURE OF THE WORLD IN YOUR HANDS; PUT TRASH
IN ITS PLACE!
4. Rotary Club has donated 260 canvas bags for us to take to the
primary school where the students will draw on them and take them to
their moms to use at the grocery store instead of the dreaded
plastic bolsas.
Upcoming projects include:
5. Cow & dog proof garbage cans
6. Recycling (Lynn Mirassou has come forward to organize this
program, we thank her for her energy and efforts to create this much
needed program)
7. Education regarding carpooling and driving less
8. Reforrestation
Ghandi said, “Be the change you wish to see in the world”. That is
what we are doing.
