COMPLETE CALENDAR AT THE END.....

ART FESTIVAL INFORMATION AT THE VERY END.....
   ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Happy to announce the Kindergarten dinner-show is sold out. Many thanks and enjoy! Dennis
=================================

Baja Shakespeare would like to thank our "Friends of Shakespeare" for supporting the Student Preview Performance that was held Wednesday March 23.  Over 100 students from 4 schools enjoyed our adapted version of Pericles.  We would like to thank the men of Rotary for cooking and serving lunch for the students following the performance.  We would like to thank the Guild for being our liason with CECYT, the Santiago High School.  What a great community we live in!!  Thank you!!!
=================================

Shrek is searching for a new Kingdom.      Everyone local knows my famous dog Shrek and he needs to return to the East Cape from El Triunfo ... as his reign is over in the mountains.
Shrek is a bit of an ogre but he is good company and a fabulous protector and loves the beach.      He doesn't wander or cause caos ... those are vicious rumors ... he just prefers law and order in his yard.     Shrek is 7 years old and slowing down a step ... and his weight is a proud 85 pounds ... but he is still quite handsome.       Shrek is perfect for a person with a need to please and a fenced yard.       His current master will pay for his food and visit often.
If qualified ... contact Link at cabolink@yahoo.com or call 624-1824068 ... or call Rumi in Spa for a preview at 624-1550964.
=====================================

The Ooma Voip (internet phone) is being offered by Woot.com for $100 off the standard price.  This is for free phone calls for life!  You need either a DSL line or Cable internet.  I have one and it works just fine down here.  You can take it back and forth.  Note:  It may not work as well on a shared internet service.  Shared Systems consume too much bandwidth.  Magic Jack requires your computer to be on, Ooma plugs directly into the modem.  Computer not require, only the modem/router.

just posted on the bloodydecks website. BE CAREFUL !
WARNING!!! Beware of... ATM in ENSENADA
I just received this email for the Anglers of our Fishing club:
"""Dear Vags - Just a warning to everyone. I used the Ban-
comer ATM in the Wal-Mart shopping center in Ensena-
da on Dec. 26. When I got home I found someone had
been making purchases using my debit card number
and PIN. When I used the ATM nothing seemed out of
the ordinary. I didn't leave or lose my card. But during
my bank's investigation they found both the card num-
ber and PIN were used. Don't use the Bancomer ATM
by Wal-Mart in Ensenadal The Seapeople. """

Below is a lengthy bit of information about Mexican Insurance.  I'm sure this will warrant a Medical Insurance discussion for the next few of days.  Cheryl

GOT THIS ON THE BAJA WESTERN ONION NEWSLETTER ON LINE.  VERY INTERESTING.  I AM CHECKING IT OUT.  unsigned

Subject: MEXICAN HEALTH INSURANCE INFO - FROM SHARON
Re: Seguros Popular Insurance: I'm no expert but here goes. You need:

1) your CURP - I guess it is like a social insurance number. This is a separate process - Gina will help you get one if you don't have one.
2) copy of the electrical bill
3) your FM-3
4) it covers everything - all tests, pap, prostate, mammogram, etc and everything in between including drugs.
5) Yes it costs about $1300 pesos per person. Max and I paid $2,730 pesos for the two of us for 1 year.
6) Here is what I do. I go to see Dr. Tuckmann. He has a private practice AND works out of the New Salvateria Hospital. I pay his fee (nominal) and he has the option of sending me to a private lab (if I am in a hurry for the results) or to the New Salvateria Hospital. You might have to wait in line, get an appointment for a test and then get the results a couple of weeks later. BUT for $1,300 pesos per year I'm not complaining.
A friend was diagnosed with breast cancer. She opted to have the lump removed by private surgery and it was done within 2 days of the diagnosis. Her monthly medication, $500 USD per month, is free with her Seguro Popular insurance at the New Salvateria Hospital.
7) I don't know if the booklet is available on line. It is my understanding that it covers everything AND if they (New Salvateria Hospital ) can't do it here in La Paz, I believe they send you to wherever you can get the treatment you need.
8) Where to apply. You might want to have your friend contact Gina Ireton (demila_sope@yahoo.com). She is really the local expert and the "arranger" for the coverage. She may be on holidays for Xmas. She has a fee for your CURP and another fee for " arranging" for your Seguro Popular.
9) We just renewed our policy and gladly paid her fee to avoid any anxiety associated with the process. We are good for another year.

Here is the PDF version of the Seguro Popular booklet which outlines who is eligible and what it covers: http://www.seguro-popular.gob.mx/images/contenidos/Afiliacion/sp_carta_derechos_obligaciones_formato_lectura.pdf. It is in Spanish and taken from the government website. Hope this helps. - Luiza
---------------------------------
Re: Seguros Popular Insurance: I have had Inbursa heath insurance for many years both my self and my daughter have policies my daughter used to be covered under mine before she went out on her own. It is good coverage but not sure about any of the questions you asked. Their main office is located on the Malecon in the same block as Migracion. it is a upstairs my insurance agent who is solely an Inbursa agent is Lupita her office is on Belesario Dominguez (her daughter works there with her now and speaks English) We have only paid one co-pay in all the years we have had the insurance And we have needed it I have to go see her soon this coming week. Will see if she can give a information sheet to me sidne saludos from la Paz - sidne byars herrero
---------------------------------
Re: Seguros Popular Insurance: Sidne and all, Inbursa moved a few months ago. They're now in new offices on Bravo, on the "mountain" side of Isobel la Católica across from the hospital. I don't have the exact address, but it's not far past Chedraui. You have to go around since Bravo is one-way coming toward the bay. I discovered this when I went to pay my car insurance and found the old Malecon office deserted! - makaloco
---------------------------------
Re: Seguros Popular Insurance: Well thanks for that bit of news but Lupita the insurance agent is still on Belisario Dominguez turn off 5th de Febrero left it is the office on the left either in the first block or second block He daughter does speak English and the finance person in the office also speaks good English for anyone that needs explanation of policies availably - sidne byars herrero

GENERAL INFO AND NOTICES.....

Posted: 3/27/11:  The Asociacion de Artes del Mar de Cortez invites all artists and artisans to participate in our 18th annual Festival de Artes at beautiful Hotel Palmas de Cortez in Los Barriles on Sunday, April 3rd!  To register, please contact Debbie Apple at festivaldeartes@hotmail.com or call (624)158-6309 English or (624)141-0380 Spanish.  Due to the growing number of  participants of this event and our desire to accommodate everyone's booth size requests, we are asking that all artists/artisans sign up through these contact numbers to receive confirmation of registration.   It's very easy and will help us ensure that everyone is accounted for and all booth requests are granted.  Those who arrive without a reservation will of course be welcome, but booth assignment will be subject to availability at that time, so register now and check in early (between 6 - 9AM) on Festival Day!
                       Thank you for your cooperation, and SEE YOU THERE!  
 

Posted 3/26/11:  To all artists participating in the Art Festival Sunday April 3, 2011, in the lovely grass covered area in front of Palmas.    Yes there will be fresh cinnamon rolls, coffee and fruit available to you while you set up between 8-10 am.  Don't miss this by forgetting to "spring forward" the night before!  We certainly look forward to seeing all that you have created.

 
Posted 3/26/11:  Time to start looking forward to some very special food choices this year at the Festival de Artes starting at 10am Sunday April 3rd in the wonderful grassy area in front of Palmas.  In the BBQ section you will be able to choose between HANDCRAFTED hamburgers and cheese on a freshly baked bun from the Roadrunner Bakery or a perfectly
grilled quarter pound polish dog with every condiment you can imagine!
     You will also be able to enjoy tacos al pastor or carne asada with all of the traditional salsas and garnishments.
Please don't miss our snack food area with fruit flavored paletas or ice cream on a stick, traditional sliced fruit in a cup with chili powder salt and lime, and last but not least tostilocos....now just google it and please give it a try!
     Yes you will definitely find a shaded place to eat along with water, soft drinks, beer and alcoholic beverages to suit every one's taste. Come and plan to spend the day since admission is free and parking is abundant.
     The Festival de Artes has received some great donations for our raffle……..but, we could use a few more.  Those businesses that donate will get a plug from our Master of Ceremonies, Cheryl Dondlinger on the day of the event.  Which makes for some really great advertisement for your business.  We will look forward to hearing from you.  Thank You, Jamie Kepler Grisetti....... bajaplaya@netzero.com

Exvotes(Retablos)and other Paintings
by
Seddon Wylde
I will be showing my new Exvoto Paintings at the Arts Festival
in Los Barriles on April 3rd.
This Mexican Folk Art is a tradition of giving thanks to
someone (usually a Saint) for a miracle (milagro).
My theme this year is animals! For example, the Rooster tells
the hen they must give thanks to the Virgin of Guadalupe for the
miracle that the farmer is a vegetarian. This painting is sold but come see
what the cow, the dove, the whale and the goat have to be thankful for! 
I will also be showing my small watercolours and some paintings by Jeff Heintzman.
