MONDAY, OCTOBER 31, 2011  -  #1188 

Note:  Beginning today, I will return notices & ads for a re-write that are to wordy.                                  Motto #2: KISSS=Keep It Short Sweet Simple   Please, respect my agenda.  Also, refrain from notices in  all caps...more difficult to read.  Again, my biggest complaint over and over again is the BPE is too long.  (Important, factual & educational information excluded)

Motto #1:Straight from the Horse's mouth....No jokes, No rumors, No opinions, No venting, No whining.
                                   Just the facts for us who live and play in Baja!

Wow! I had no idea that East Cape Dental Clinic provided FREE dental care for all the local children in Los Barriles, the surrounding towns, and all the way up to El Cardinal and beyond. The other day I went to see Dr. Veronica Tuchmann who has been providing professional dental care at the clinic for the past year. I had a pleasant and painless experience and it was nice to actually have a dentist clean my teeth and be able to assess any other dental issues that I may be experiencing. The best part is when I went to pay, the cost was so reasonable and then I was told that this clinic is a Non-Profit Organization and all the proceeds go to finance the free dental care for all children under the age of 14.
Thank you Char for providing our town with a Non-Profit dental clinic to serve the Gringos and local Mexican residents at an affordable cost and return it to the community. I, for one, am committed to supporting the East Cape Dental Clinic and the children. East Cape Dental Clinic is in the Plaza del Pueblo across from the "Barrels".  Gary Field

THE GUMBO CLUB AT THE EL CARDONAL HIDE-A-WAY IN EL CARDONAL
  (1)   We went to the opening of the restaurant at the Cardonal Hideaway last night and the service, food and prices were superb. What a great addition to the community. I would suggest you make reservations, JJonesyb@hughes.net  . George Nicholas

  (2)  Last night we ate at the RV Park in El Cardonal. I believe they call it the Gumbo Club. Incredible! There were 7 of us an we all ordered something different. Big argument on who had the best meal. It was so nice to have something different than taco stand fare. Jill and Clint, the chefs, spent several years at Cabo Pulmo and now they are here for us. Full bar and priced very reasonable. One of their gourmet meals might cost you 50 pesos more than at the taco stand. Give it a try. Let's keep them here. Bernadine
