BOCCE TOURNAMENT TODAY!
"Whether you play or not, while you're at the Bocce Ball Event for the East Cape Guild Scholarship  Thursday, April 14 2:00pm, don't forget to buy your raffle tickets we have over 40 items to raffle and for silent auction.  Look forward to seeing you."
==========================

I would like to Thank all of the people who came this morning to join the Rotary at Work Day project of painting the topes and cleaning the fountain area.  Many thanks to all of you.
Big Daddy
=================================

Do you have a sewing machine you'd like to donate to the Cultural Center in San Antonio? They are making bags and clothes from natural herbs in their area and have only one working machine. People are lining up to use the one they have!   Also, for the next 2 weeks, they have an exposition of these manta (manta is muslin cloth) dying projects plus other projects.  Come see what they're doing. It's a great day's excursion!
=============================

Just a note here.  If you have not tried Charlie's Chocolates yet......you do NOT KNOW WHAT YOU ARE MISSING.  They are soooooo creamy and wonderful.  We bought a bag of them last night after dinner and had some when we got home and I was flabbergasted.  They are WAY better than See's.  And just a note......let them warm up to room temperature and you will think you "died and went to heaven". 
I promise you.   Great job Charlie  ! ! !  !  Sheila Hughes

SKY NEWS
Saturn. The only planet visible in the evening is Saturn, and it is in good position to view its rings with binoculars or telescope. It rises around 6:45pm and is high in the eastern sky by 9pm.  Beginning Saturday evening, with a double pass, the International Space station will cross a portion of the sky each evening, Saturday through Tuesday (more information on Saturday).  Tom S

QUESTIONS

a.  I am looking for a Chinese Herb store nearby between Cabo and La Paz.  Is there one around?  Does anyone know of an acupuncturist?  Or a really good therapeutic masseuse?  I am in a lot of pain and could use some help.  Thanks,   bruceday@gmail.com


RIDES FOR PEOPLE, STUFF and CARAVANS - Ad will run for 3 days. Repeats in 7 days

a. I have a new 27' travel trailer in Apple Valley, Ca.  It is called a feather lite so it is lighter to haul than most.  I am willing to pay for gas from Apple Valley down to Loreto, Baja (approx. 1000 mi.).  Instead of payment upon arrival I am willing to give 3 mo. free rent of trailer on my property in Loreto in case you are looking for an extended vacation.  My house is on a nice secluded lot with lots of trees.  2 adults may use the trailer rent free.  I will also pay utilities.  E mail address is Bajalindo@gmail.com.  I would drive to Apple Valley to follow trailer to Loreto.
