couldn't even begin. Next, a big thank you to all the volunteers
even Mexicans, who hauled, folded, priced and just did general
running around for us. Also a huge thanks to Jamie and Marcus
Grisetti who provided free storage. Of course, we couldn't have done
this without your help. We would like this
to become an annual tradition for the Catholic Church, so keep us in
mind for next year. We sure can be proud to live in such a great
community. I call it Paradise. Mengia

DISCUSSIONS-

a.
Having just had Dental work done at the East Cape Health Center
(located in the Roadrunner Cafe Plaza) I wanted to let everyone know
what a good experience I had. Dr. Veronica Tuchmann and all the
staff at the clinic were so professional , helpful and caring. I had
a crown installed, a cavity repaired and through it all Dr.Veronica
was extra sensitive to how I was feeling and made every effort to to
have it be a good experience. One of the very best parts of going to
the East Cape Health Center, is that the center takes the money that
we pay for our dental care and uses it for free care for any of the
local children! Please remember that the next time you need to see
the dentist. Sincerely, Lon Fitton
QUESTIONS
a.
Has anyone out there in Ponyland had experience using Neptune
Society in regards to a death in Mexico? They offer a
‘Transportation and Relocation Protection Plan’ that claims to
handle all details relating to a death in Mexico, including
obtaining all necessary permits and death certificate. Would like to
know if anyone has had occasion to use this plan and if it performed
as advertised.
