==================================

The now traditional and very much enjoyed annual Kindergarten show + dinner will be held in the now covered Cancha Publica or Sports Arena downtown the 30th of March at 5:30 PM. The tickets are now available for purchase at Pagos y Asesorias Dennis (Paydennis), on Callejon Salsipuedes downtown. Ticket donation is only $130.00 pesos or $12.00dls. each and you must purchase ahead as no tickets will be sold at the door. As you know this is a sellout event so get you tickets early and enjoy a wonderful show put on by our local Kindergarten students and Teachers along with a sumptuous dinner following the show. Dinner will be roast pork, mashed potatoes and gravy, biscuits and coleslaw. They will also have available nachos, Jamaica water and dessert. It goes without saying this is a charitable event and all proceeds go to the Kindergarten which as you can see from the street has become a show place on our entrance to town. Looking forward to seeing you all there I thank you in advance for your always generous cooperation.

QUESTIONS

a.  Looking for the lady that approached me at Smokey's on Friday for the parade-she wanted to share a spot at the

d.  I recently moved to Cabo San Jose from Canada and i have been trying to set up my "star choice satellite dish" my question is if some one out there would have the settings from the back of their dish, altitude etc? so i can Aim my dish.  sergvielm@hotmail.com

e.   We crossed the border headed south on Tuesday, with the full intention of getting our tourist visas in Ensenada. Unfortunately, with Carnaval going on Tuesday, the Migracion office was closed (we were told by the Policia), as was the road to the office. So we stopped here in Guerro Negro yesterday to get our FM-T's and were told we have to pay a $1149 peso fine each for not getting them earlier. No explanation will change that here. What are our options? Can we try to sway someone further on down the road, or does the damage get worse.  Chuck   clwhitt@mindspring.com
