Ladies & Gentlemen,
     Please see the attached note below about our Mother's Day event May 13th for the local Rotary Club of which I am a founding member. Rotary International has been very supportive of my Diabetes Program and help start the Children's Dental Program 5 years ago. Hopefully our local group will help with sustainment. In return I would like to make this event as successful as possible by promoting tickets for the event and inviting you and your friends to attend. All proceeds go towards supporting our worth while community projects.
     The best part of the event is the silent auction items, they are spectacular. Several are for weekend get away at really desirable places. I know there are many events this time of year as things wind down and keeping up with social graces is sometimes difficult.
I rarely "sell" anything but good health care but I have tickets at the Medical and Dental Clinics in hopes of helping with this cause. If you are interested please let me know,
     Thanks a bunch,  Char

Rotary is again hosting the final event of the season on May 13th. This year the theme is “AFanciful Mother's Day”. It will be held at the Hotel Los Pescadores, starting at 5:50 pm. There will be a musical social hour, dinner prepared by some of the best cooks in the community and a silent auction that is sure to offer something you can't resist - everything from art, resort hotels, tourist activities, jewelry and much more.
Tickets can be purchased through our website www.losbarrilesrotary.org  or email me and I will make sure we get a ticket to you. The cost is $20 USD or $260 Pesos per person.

==================================================

     Extended warranty – Dell’s extended warranties may NOT cover hardware failures!!! Others do not cover software failures. A close friend brought me a computer to check because the screen was flashing streaks of color during the initial boot sequence. As I moved the hinges between the keyboard and screen, the streaks were worse. That usually indicates a failure of the cable that connects the screen to the motherboard on a laptop. My friend had purchased an extended warranty from Dell for $240 usd. I called Dell with her to explain the issues. Dell Tech support informed us that the extended warranty covers only software. Most extended warranties are written to enhance the profitability of the company and not the individual. Important: If you make the initial product purchase using a Gold, Platinum, or enhanced credit card, the credit card company doubles the original warranty. Check the fine print of your credit card. You will need to save the original sales receipt to make that happen. If you purchase a computer from a big box store like Best Buy, walk over to the Repair Desk and ask them if their warranty covers software and hardware. Often the answers are different than that of the salesman.

     Security Cameras: I installed a Foscam from Amazon a month ago. It works very well. I can completely control the camera remotely. It works day or night and sends me an email photo when someone approaches the area of the camera. The camera did use some of the upstream bandwidth but not too bad. I only power up the camera when we are away. The only negative is programming it to perform all of the above. I would recommend a professional installer unless you are a “Geek”. If you have a professional installer do the work, make sure you can receive the emails and control the camera from outside your home network. That’s the real test!!! Here is the link: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B001IBFSJ8/ref=oh_details_o00_s00_i02

     My Drop Camera finally arrived. It is a simple setup that took two minutes. Anyone could set this up! Cost is minimal. It features a high definition camera with a microphone and speaker. You can purchase upgraded recording packages from Drop Cam. The only negative is the amount of upstream bandwidth that it uses. I would only power it up when you are gone. Remember, if you are sharing your internet, don’t be a bandwidth hog!!! This camera will hog the entire upload!!!

a.  I would like to take this opportunity to congratulate the committee who worked so hard to have Dancing Under the Stars this year.  The band was fantastic and the food was especially good. There were many waiters/waitresses who took care of our every need.  The fire dancers were outstanding, too. The items at the silent auction were very good and varied. Make sure that next year you
attend this function, as I am sure it will be even better.  Jim <stanbaja@yahoo.com>
