If you know of a construction project for which concrete was delivered in these giant bags, please ask that the bags be donated to East Cape Recycling Baja.

     The Rotary of Los Barriles Cabo Este is pleased to host Sarah A. Schmidt, Deputy Chief of American Citizens Services for the US Consulate General in Tijuana. This informative community forum will be held at Hotel Palmas De Cortez Wednesday February 22nd 10:00am in the conference center.
     The American Citizen Services Unit of U.S. Consulate General Tijuana provides a wide range of services to U.S. citizens visiting or residing in the Baja California region of Mexico. The ACS Unit issues passports, registers U.S. citizens born in Mexico, performs notarials, and provides assistance to U.S. citizens arrested in Mexico and to the families of Americans who pass away in our consular district of Baja.
     Ms. Schmidt will be covering an array of topics related to American expatriates or tourists and the role of the Consulate, including also the limitations of her office. Some of the topics to be covered include: services offered, emergency passport, medical assistance, what to do if arrested and how her office can help in the case of death.
     After a brief discussion by Ms. Schmidt the general audience will have an opportunity to ask her questions on topics related to rights of expatriates or tourists.
Come join in this very important community forum.

The 22nd of February is Ash Wednesday and the services will be at 8:00AM, 6:00PM and 8:00PM at the Catholic church on the highway. I would also like to use this means to thank the different groups here in Los Barriles involved in helping our children with a variety of different programs. The majority of our school children between 1st and 7th grades are obligated to attend Catechism classes each Saturday morning from 9:00AM to 11:00AM at the church and are therefore not available to partake in these events if scheduled during this time frame so perhaps the organizers could find a way to schedule around this and therefore give all the children a chance to partake in the event. Any questions please feel free to call me at 141-0261 or mail to dennis@paydennis.com . Thank you for your understanding.

a.  WOW! A big THANK YOU to 'Tio Pablo' for his wonderful Valentines Day Dinner Special. We resisted having his grande thick & delicious prime rib and instead tried his shrimp-stuffed chicken breast.

b.  The woman that sells seafood across the street from Chipito's, has just opened a Seafood Cafe. It is just above Chipito's. I had a Seafood Cocktail and lunch, which was one of the best I've had in
Baja. The place is a little rough now, with electricity and plumbing soon on the way. In spite of that, I recommend it. Big Jim (Jim Wilmarth)
