A Huge Thank You: Dan and I are still overwhelmed with the response from the East Cape and Baja Pony Express community when the medical alert went out for needed blood. When they told me they only had two units of blood and he needed more, I thought immediately of the Pony Express. Thank you, Cheryl, this newsletter is definitely more than just a place for local information but is also a lifesaver in the literal sense. Many of us know the value of Char Wenger and the East Cape Health Center, but it needs to be said again. She helped us from the beginning and was there with us up to the time that we flew back to California. I urge all to help Kay Mundt in her goal to have a list of people who are willing to donate blood when needed. Finally I must thank our friends and the community who supported us during this most difficult of times. The gentleman from La Paz who drove to San Jose to give blood and offered to contact the Union in Mexico City to get more donated blood, the woman willing to give up the competition Lord of the Winds to donate if needed, and all the others that we don't even know of, we thank you! Dan is getting stronger everyday and we do plan to come back soon. It has to be the best place to live (and fish!) in the world. Dan and Diane Shada
====================================================

WOW Los Barriles. You have done it again. In one day you have donated enough money to send Ulises and his parents to TJ for the medical tests that he needs. Fatima and I can’t thank all of you enough. I’d also like to thank Smokey’s for their support so next time you feel like a cold one
stop by Smokey’s. You have given “Hope to Ulises.” Look for updates
================================================

     Please join us this Wed 8am Palmas De Cortez for our weekly Rotary meeting. This speaker is somebody the whole community will want to hear. Father Juan Basco our local priest will be talking to us about his vision for our area.
     Father Basco was ordained 22years ago and has has spent time in the Vatican. Father Basco also spent time in Mulege and eight years in Chicago. His vision for our community includes senior care, kids programs and a community center to name a few.
Rotary will welcome all members of the community to hear this informational talk.

Fuel Overcharge In Guerrero Negro - Everyone traveling north and south be aware of a situation at the PeMex nearest the flag in Guerrero Negro. It's the one located just north of the entrance to GN. They are, once again, shorting on the amount and overcharging by 10 pesos per litre. I questioned the man in charge and showed him all of my other facturas. He shrugged and said it was because of the higher cost of cargo. We wondered how come the one just north of that PeMex was totally full of vehicles getting fuel and yet when we drove into the one closest to town it was deserted. We thought perhaps he was out of fuel. He said no. We should have kept going right then. - Elizabeth Honneyman, EHcoz@aol.com

THUMBS UP - ANSWERS - DISCUSSIONS- This category must have email address.

a.  Make your own pet treats! Buy some liver from the carniceria and slice it into strips. Set it out in the sun (plentiful and free here), cover with screen or cheese cloth. Turn it over a couple of times a day for a couple of days. When it is like soft candy cut it into small pcs. appropriate for your animal - refrigerate. He/she will forget commercial treats and you will have saved money and contributed less trash to the waste stream. Saludos, Wendy
