Amerimed Clinic Los Barriles Announcement
With a heavy heart I share with you the loss of my good friend and one of my essential mentors and immediate supervisor, Rudolfo ‘Rudy’ Marino, who was the General Manager of Amerimed Los Cabos. Just 44 years old and at the height of his career, Rudy was a vital, energetic and immensely intelligent man, whose greatest traits were reflected in his kindness, his willingness to approach problems with ease and his interest in the people that worked for him and with him. He was extremely important to the growth and improvement of health care and immediate response in Los Cabos. Rudy’s influence and leadership, his insight and energy will be terribly missed. Rudy was especially proud of our Amerimed Clinic in Los Barriles and was an invaluable supporter of our East Cape Community non profit. He had just visited Los Barriles for our ‘Hail and Farewell’ celebration for Dr. Cevallos, where many of you may have met him. While driving on business between Cabo San Lucas and La Paz, Rudy was killed in a one car accident. Rudy is survived by his wife, along with a 4 year old daughter and 7 year old son, as well as so many of us to whom he was so important. Char Wenger, NP, Amerimed Los Barriles Administrator.
==============================

THE ASSOCIACION de ARTES would like to thank the 30 people that came for "Dinner & A Movie" night.The Hotel Los Pescadores put on a great dinner enjoyed by all followed by "Hello Dolly", unfortunately we missed the Last 10 min. of the movie when the projector bulb gave out.  This was our last showing for this spring; as we move off day-light savings time in the fall, we plan on getting the "Dinner & A Movie" night back in full swing (with a new projector bulb) with the first showing to be "The African Queen" so get out your Humphrey Bogart and Audrey Hepburn and plan on a fun night!
Thanks again for those that came and looking forward to seeing you in the fall,

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.

                                                            
THE END!!
